Alright this is gonna be a long one

Lets called child tickets x and adult tickets y 

so x + y should be equal to 159 since they said that the total sum of the tickets is 159 
so thats your first equation : x + y = 159

next form an equation using the prices, 
5.40x + 8.70y = 1079.70

now that you have your two equations, just substitute the first into the second (you could either substitute for x or y by saying x = 159-y or that y=159-x)

Hope this helps.

Johnathan can jog 3 2/3 miles in 7/8 hour. Determine his average speed in miles per hour.
kap26 [50]
If you would like to know Johnathan's average speed in miles per hour, you can calculate this using the following steps:

3 2/3 = 11/3 miles ... 7/8 hour
x miles = ? ... 1 hour

11/3 * 1 = 7/8 * x
11/3 = 7/8 * x
x = 11/3 * 8/7 
x = 88/21
x = 4 4/21 miles

The correct result would be 4 4/21 miles per hour.
