Answer to Problem 50PPS
Equation:
Explanation of Solution
Given:
An amusement park charges $50 for admission before 6 PM and $20 for admission after 6 PM . On Saturday, the park took in a total of $20,000.
Concept Used:
Write an equation that represents the number of admissions that may have been sold.
Let x represent the admissions sold before 6 PM.Park charges $50 for admission before 6 PM
Let y represent the admissions sold after 6 PM. Park charges $20 for admission after 6 PM.
Calculation:
Equation:
Thus, the equation:

Answer to Problem 50PPS
x-Intercept is 400 and y − intercept is 1000.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
An amusement park charges $50 for admission before 6 PM and $20 for admission after 6 PM . On Saturday, the park took in a total of $20,000.
Concept Used:
x – Intercept means where the lines crosses the x – axis. In this graph at 400, the line crosses the x – axis where y = 0 This means the number of admission before 6 PM is 400 alone if there is no admission after 6 PM y – Intercept means where the lines crosses the y – axis In this graph at 1000, the line crosses the y – axiswhere x = 0 This means the number of admission after 6 PM is 1000 alone if there is no admission before 6 PM. | ![]() |
Find the x and y – intercepts of the graph. What does each intercept represent?
Calculation:
X −intercept is 400 and the y − intercept if 1000.
In this graph at 400, the line crosses the x − axis where y = 0
X -intercept is 400, means the number of admission before 6 PM is 400 alone if there is no admission after 6 PM
Y − intercept is 1000, this means the number of admission after 6 PM is 1000 alone if there is no admission before 6 PM.
Thus, x − intercept is 400 and y − intercept is 1000.

- Instructions: Answer each question showing all work. 1. Out of 30 animals at a veterinarian clinic, 8 cats and 4 dogs have been vaccinated. 6 cats and 12 dogs are not yet vaccinated. Create a two-way frequency table to represent the data. 2. Convert the table from number 1 into a two-way relative frequency table. Instructions: Based on the tables created in questions 1 and 2 above, answer questions 3-7. 3. What percentage of cats from the total animals are vaccinated? 4. What is the relative frequency of dogs from the total animals that are not yet vaccinated? 5. What is the conditional frequency of cats that have not been vaccinated? 6.
