Visitors to a cinema are either children, adults or pensioners. The ratio for children to adult viewers is 1 : 2 The ratio of adults to pensioners is 3 : 4 A stratified example of 85 is to be taken from the cinema visitors. How many pensioners should be in the sample?

Total number of pensioners  = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Ratio for children to adult = 1 : 2

Ratio of adults to pensioners = 3 : 4

Total number of seats = 85

Find:

Total number of pensioners

Computation:

Common ration of children to adult to pensioners

1.5 : 3 : 4

In simple form

3 : 6 : 8

Total number of pensioners  = Total number of seats [(8)/(3+6+8)]

Total number of pensioners  = 85[(8)/(17)]

Total number of pensioners  = 40

answer: integers are just whole numbers: positive, negative, and zero.

i = {-∞, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ∞}

let x = 1st integer

let y = 2nd integer

x = 3y + 17   {equation 1}

xy = -24         {equation 2}

substitute 3y+17 in place of x n equation 2

and solve for y.

(3y+17)y = -24

3y2 + 17y = -24

3y2 + 17y + 24 = 0

from quadratic equation:

y = [-17±√(172-4(3)(24))]/(2(3))

y = (-17 ±√1)/6

y = (-17+1)/6   or     y = (-17-1)/6

y = -16/6           or     y = -18/6

y = -2 2/3         or   y = -3

since we are dealing with

y = -3

x = 3y+17 = -9+17 = 8

the integers are -3, 8

step-by-step explanation:

its kinda hard to answer this when we dont have all the information that we need.
