The number of discount tickets was sold is 139.

The linear equation of two variables is the equation where the highest degree of two variables is 1.

Here given that the organizer receives 2884 by selling tickets.

The number of tickets sold is 430

The full price of one ticket is 8.

The discount price of ticket is 4.

Let the number of full price ticket sold is x and the number of discount ticket sold is y.

Then the total price will be = (the price of full price ticket* number of tickets) + (number of discount ticket sold*discount price of one ticket)

= 8x+4y

From the above it is clear that 8x+4y=2884 ------equation 1

total number tickets are = x+y

⇒ x+y =430 -------equation 2

multiplying 8 in equation 2 will be

8x+8y=3440

then subtracting equation 1 from the above equation

8x+8y -(8x+4y)=3440-2884

⇒4y=556

⇒y=556/4

⇒y=139

Therefore the number of discount tickets sold is 139.

What is a number that multiplies a variable in a term ?
kirill [66]
<h3>A number that multiplies a variable in a term is known as a coefficient.</h3>

Given the term: 6x^3, we can identify three parts:

The coefficient, 6, is the constant that is being multiplied by the variable.

The variable, x, is a number with an unknown value, or with multiple potential values.

The exponent, 3, is the power with which the variable is being raised to.

What is the area of a triangle with a base length of 2 1/2 inches and a height of 2 inches
Sedaia [141]
Hello I am happy to help you with this problem. So the formula to solve for a triangle is A = bxh divided by 2.
So it’s area equals base times height divided by 2. So the base is 2 1/2 which becomes 5/2 ( five over 2) times 2 which equals 5. It’s because you cancel. So 5 divided by 2 equals 5/2 which also equals 2 1/2.



I hope that helps you. If you have any questions please feel free to ask me.

Suppose you work as a clerk at a local retail store earning $6 per hour. The amount of your weekly paycheck (before taxes are ta
Viktor [21]

Answer:

x is the independent variable and it represents the number of hours worked per week by the clerk.

Step-by-step explanation:

An independent variable refers to a variable in model that is varied or changed in order to examine its effect on another variable. The other variable is called a dependent variable.

A dependent variable is a variable in a model that changes as a result of a change in the independent variable.

From the question, x is the independent variable and its represent the number of hours worked by the clerk.

F(x) represents the amount of your weekly paycheck and it is the dependent variable that changes as the number of hours worked, x, changes.

For example, since we are given:

F(x) = 6x ............................... (1)

Where;

F(x) = = depemdent variable = Amount of weekly paycheck (before taxes are taken out)

6 = coefficient of x = Earning per hour

x = Independent variable = Number of hours worked

Assuming x = 1, we can substitute this into equation (1) and have:

F(x) = 6 * 1 = $6

But when x = 2, we have:

F(x) = 6 * 2 = $12

Therefore, the dependent variable F(x) changes from $6 weekly to $12 weekly as the independent variable x changes form 1 hour to 2 hours weekly.

___________=__________
 100percent        x percent

cross multiply
42x=3400
divide both sides by 42
x=80.95 percent

The inventory in 2011 is 80.95% the inventory in 2010

100-80.95=19.05% decrease
