Let x  =  the numbers of girls
thus
the numbers of boys  = 2x 
x + 2x = 27
3x = 27
x = 9
2x = 2 . 9 =18
girls  =  9  &  boys  = 18

Write a system of equations and then solve by the method of your choice. Reserved seat tickets for the football game cost $4.00
amid [387]

Given :

Reserved seat tickets for the football game cost $4.00 each and general admission tickets cost $3.00 each.

After the game is over, the turnstile count shows 1787 people attended the game. The total receipts were $5792.

To Find :

The number of each general admission tickets sold.

Solution :

Let, general admission are x.

So, Reserved seat tickets will be 1787 - x.

Now, total amount T = 3x + 4( 1787 - x )

T = $5792

3x + 4( 1787 - x ) = $5792

-x + 7148 = 5792

x = 1356

Therefore, the number of each general admission tickets sold are 1356.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Jillian is selling boxes of cookies to raise money for her basketball team. The 10 oz. box costs $3.50, while the 16 oz. box cos
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Jillian sold 15 ten-oz bags and 9 sixteen-oz bags.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent number of 10-oz bags and y represent number of 16-oz bags.

We have been given that Jillian sold 24 boxes of cookies in total. We can represent this information in an equation as:

x+y=24...(1)

We are also told that 10 oz. box costs $3.50, while the 16 oz. box costs $5.00, so the cost of x 10-oz bags would be 3.50x and cost of y 16-oz bags would be 5y.

At the end of one week, she collected $97.50. We can represent this information in an equation as:

3.5x+5y=97.50...(2)

Now, we will use substitution method to solve our system of equations. From equation (1), we will get:

y=24-x

Substitute this value in equation (2):

3.5x+5(24-x)=97.50

3.5x+120-5x=97.50

-1.5x+120=97.50

-1.5x+120-120=97.50-120

-1.5x=-22.5

\frac{-1.5x}{-1.5}=\frac{-22.5}{-1.5}

x=15

Therefore, the number of 10-oz boxes sold be Jillian is 15.

Now, we will substitute x=15 in equation (1) to solve for y.

15+y=24

15-15+y=24-15

y=9

Therefore, the number of 16-oz boxes sold be Jillian is 9.
