Total tickets sold :
14 + 6 = 20
fraction of child tickets sold = 14/20
then, we convert this fraction to %.
14/20 = 70/100
( multiply by 5 )
percentage = 70%
X=750+125.75x
subtract to variable (x) on one side
x-125.75x=750+125.75x-125.75x
-124.75x=750
divide -124.75 to get variable (x) by itself
-124.75x/-124.75=750/-124.75
x=-3000/499
or
x=-6 6/499
or
x=-6.01202
1 3/6 + 4/6 = 1 7/6 = 2 1/6
