<h2>Answer:</h2>

Option: A is the correct answer.

        A girl is 9; mom is 27

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

A girl is now one-third as old as her mother.

i.e. if x is the present age of girl.

and y is the present age of her mother.

Then,

x=\dfrac{1}{3}y

i.e.

y=3x-----------(1)

In three years, she will be two-fifths as old as her mother will be.

This means after three years.

The age of girl will be: x+3

and the age of her mother will be: y+3

This means that:

(x+3)=\dfrac{2}{5}\times (y+3)

5(x+3)=2(y+3)\\\\i.e.\\\\5x+15=2y+6

i.e.

5x+15=2\times 3x+6

( since on using equation (1) )

i.e.

5x+15=6x+6\\\\i.e.\\\\6x-5x=15-6\\\\i.e.\\\\x=9

and the value of y from equation (1) is:

y=27

I really want to say A, I mean all of these would fit for the one third of their ages but the two-fifths is kinda tricky. But I am sticking with A.

The drama club is selling tickets to a play for each ticket they sell the school receives x dollars and the drama club receives
bogdanovich [222]

The drama club receives $7 for each ticket that they sell.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Amount received by school = x dollars

Amount received by school for 96 tickets = 96x

Amount received by drama club = remaining amount after school

Total amount of 96 tickets = 96x+672

Here,

96x is the share of school

672 is the share of drama club for 96 tickets.

Therefore;

96 tickets = dollars

1 ticket = \frac{672}{96}

1 ticket = 7 dollars

The drama club receives $7 for each ticket that they sell.
