- For the following exercise, create a system of linear equations to describe the behavior. Then, solve the system for all solutions using Cramer’s Rule. 65. At a women's prison down the road, the total number of inmates aged 20 - 49 totaled 5,525. This year, the 20 - 29 age group increased by 10%, the 30 - 39 age group decreased by 20%, and the 40 - 49 age group doubled. There are now 6,040 prisoners. Originally, there were 500 more in the 30-39 age group than the 20-29 age group. Determine the prison population for each age group last year.arrow_forwardFor the following exercise, create a system of linear equations to describe the behavior. Then, solve the system for all solutions using Cramer’s Rule. 61. At the same market, the three most popular fruits make up 37% of the total fruit sold. Strawberries sell twice as much as oranges, and kiwis sell one more percentage point than oranges. For each fruit, find the percentage of total fruit sold.arrow_forwardFor the following exercises, use any method to solve the nonlinear system. x2y26x4y11=0x2+y2=5arrow_forward
- For the following exercises, solve using a system of linear equations. 29. A factory producing cell phones has the following cost and revenue functions: C(x)=x2+75x+2,688 and R(x)=x2+160x . What is the range of cell phones they should produce each day so there is profit? Round to the nearest number that generates profit.arrow_forwardFor the following exercise, create a system of linear equations to describe the behavior. Then, solve the system for all solutions using Cramer’s Rule. 60. At a market, the three most popular vegetables make up 53% of vegetable sales. Corn has 4% higher sales than broccoli, which has 5% more sales than onions. What percentage does each vegetable have in the market share?arrow_forwardFor the following exercise, create a system of linear equations to describe the behavior. Then, solve the system for all solutions using Cramer’s Rule. 56. A concert venue sells single tickets for $40 each and couple's tickets for $65. If the total revenue was $18,090 and the 321 tickets were sold, how many single tickets and how many couple's tickets were sold?arrow_forward
- For the following exercise, create a system of linear equations to describe the behavior. Then, solve the system for all solutions using Cramer’s Rule. 62. Three bands performed at a concert venue. The first band charged $15 per ticket, the second band charged $45 per ticket, and the final band charged $22 per ticket. There were 510 tickets sold, for a total of $12,700. If the first band had 40 more audience members than the second band, how many tickets were sold for each band?arrow_forwardFor the following exercises, solve the system of nonlinear equations. y=x24y=5x+10arrow_forwardFor the following exercise, create a system of linear equations to describe the behavior. Then, solve the system for all solutions using Cramer’s Rule. 64. Men aged 20 - 29, 30 - 39, and 40-49 made up 78% of the population at a prison last year. This year, the same age groups made up 82.08% of the population. The 20 - 29 age group increased by 20%, the 30 - 39 age group increased by 2%, and the 40 - 49 age group decreased to 34 of their previous population. Originally, the 30-39 age group had 2% more prisoners than the 20—29 age group. Determine the prison population percentage for each age group last year.arrow_forward
- For the following exercises, solve using a system of linear equations. 30. A small fair charges $1.50 for students, $1 for children, and $2 for adults. In one day, three times as many children as adults attended. A total of 800 tickets were sold for a total revenue of $1,050. How many of each type of ticket was sold?arrow_forwardFor the following exercise, create a system of linear equations to describe the behavior. Then, solve the system for all solutions using Cramer’s Rule. 55. A movie theater needs to know how many adult tickets and children tickets were sold out of the 1,200 total tickets. If children's tickets are $5.95, adult tickets are $11.15, and the total amount of revenue was $12,756, how many children's tickets and adult tickets were sold?arrow_forwardFor the following exercises, use any method to solve the system of nonlinear equations. 18. x2+y2=1y=20x21arrow_forward
