Students performed in a play on a Friday and a Saturday. For both performances, adult tickets cost a dollars each and student tickets cost s dollars each.
On Friday, they sold 125 adult tickets and 65 student tickets, and collected $1,200. On Saturday, they sold 140 adult tickets and 50 student tickets, and collect $1,230.
This situation is represented by this system of equations:
What could the equation 265a+115s=2,430 mean in this situation?

This situation is represented by this system of equations:
The solution to the original system is the pair a=7 and s=5. Explain why it makes sense that this pair of values is also the solution to the equation 265a+115s=2,430.

The box plot represents the distribution of the number of free throws that 20 students made out of 10 attempts.
After reviewing the data, the value recorded as 1 is determined to have been an error. The box plot represents the distribution of the same data set, but with the minimum, 1, removed.
The median is 6 free throws for both plots.
Explain why the median remains the same when 1 was removed from the data set.

In places where there are crickets, the outdoor temperature can be predicted by the rate at which crickets chirp. One equation that models the relationship between chirps and outdoor temperature is f=\frac{1}{4}c+40, where c is the number of chirps per minute and f is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.
Suppose 110 chirps are heard in a minute. According to this model, what is the outdoor temperature?

In places where there are crickets, the outdoor temperature can be predicted by the rate at which crickets chirp. One equation that models the relationship between chirps and outdoor temperature is f=\frac{1}{4}c+40, where c is the number of chirps per minute and f is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.
If it is 75oF outside, about how many chirps can we expect to hear in one minute?

In places where there are crickets, the outdoor temperature can be predicted by the rate at which crickets chirp. One equation that models the relationship between chirps and outdoor temperature is f=\frac{1}{4}c+40, where c is the number of chirps per minute and f is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.
The equation is only a good model of the relationship when the outdoor temperature is at least 55oF. (Below that temperature, crickets aren't around or inclined to chirp.) How many chirps can we expect to hear in a minute at that temperature?

In places where there are crickets, the outdoor temperature can be predicted by the rate at which crickets chirp. One equation that models the relationship between chirps and outdoor temperature is f=\frac{1}{4}c+40, where c is the number of chirps per minute and f is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.
On the coordinate plane, draw a graph that represents the relationship between the number of chirps and the temperature.

In places where there are crickets, the outdoor temperature can be predicted by the rate at which crickets chirp. One equation that models the relationship between chirps and outdoor temperature is f=\frac{1}{4}c+40, where c is the number of chirps per minute and f is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.
Explain what the coefficient \frac{1}{4} in the equation tells us about the relationship.
