The following graph shows that more and more people in a certain country are moving from urban
cities to the suburbs. The percent, p, of the population living in urban cities can be estimated by the
equation p = –2.4t +73 and the percent of the population living in the suburbs by the equation
p = 2.4t +3. In both equations, t represents the number of years since 2000. That is, t = 0
corresponds to 2000, t = 1 corresponds to 2001, and so on. Assuming this trend continues, use both
equations to estimate the year in which the percent of the population of this certain country living
in urban cities will be equal to the percent living in the suburbs.

The Family Fine Arts Center charges $25 per adult and $10 per senior citizen for its performances.
On a recent weekend evening when 491 people paid admission, the total receipts were $6440. We
can represent this situation with the system of equations
a + s =491
25a +10s =6440
with a representing the adults who attended and s representing the senior citizens who attended.
How many who paid were senior citizens?

A)
192 senior citizens
B)
299 senior citizens
C)
389 senior citizens
D)
102 senior citizens
