Hey there!
2/3 = a/30
First: you have to CROSS MULTIPLY the given numbers
2(30) = 3(a)
2(30) = 60
3(a) = 3a
New EQUATION: 3a = 60
Second: DIVIDE 3 to BOTH SIDES
3a/3 = 60/3
CANCEL out: 3/3 because that gives you 1
KEEP: 60/3 because that helps you solve for your a-value
60/3 = a
60/3 = 20
Therefore, your answer is: a = 20
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

Let's write an inequality, such as follows: x < sqrt(50) < y. Square both sides of the equation. We get x^2 < 50 < y^2. Obviously, x is between 7 and 8. Also notice, that for integers a,b, (ab)^2/b^2, equals a^2. So let's try values, like 7.1. Using the previous fact, (7.1)^2, equals (71)^2/100. So, (7.1)^2, equals 50.41. Thus, our number is between 7 and 7.1. We find, with a bit of experimentation, that the square root of 50, is 7.07.
Answer:
x = 5 and x = -3

Looks like it should be D since they spent 0.08 on tickets and get 1.92. Then shirts are $55 so we subtract this from the profit.
