Answer:

232 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the number of cars that entered is c.

At 9:00 am, there are a total of 24 + c cars and 64 trucks. We know that this value of 64 represents 1/5 of the total number of vehicles. The total number of vehicles is (24 + c) + 64 = 88 + c. So, we have:

64/(88 + c) = 1/5

Cross-multiply:

88 + c = 64 * 5 = 320

c = 320 - 88 = 232

Thus, the answer is 232 cars.

Note: as 232 doesn't show up in the answer choices, it's possible that the problem was copied correctly.

FrozenT [24]

Johnny is selling tickets to a school play. On the first day of ticket sales he sold 14 senior (S) citizen tickets and 4 child (C) tickets for a total of $200. On the second day of ticket sales he sold 7 senior (S) citizen tickets and 1 child (C) ticket for a total of $92. What is the price of one child ticket?

14S + 4C = 200

14S = 200 - 4C

S = (200 - 4C)/14

7S + 1C = 92

7S = 92 - C

S = (92 - C)/7

(200 - 4C)/14 = (92 - C)/7

7 x (200 - 4C) = 14 x (92 - C)

1400 - 28C = 1288 - 14C

1400 - 1288 = 28C - 14C

112 = 14C

C = 112/14 = 8

the price of one child ticket = $8

3x/5=30 solve the equation
Bess [88]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve equations like this you need to to get x by itself.

So, Let's multiply both sides by 5 to get rid of 5.

3x/5 *5 = 30 * 5

= 3x = 150

Now we divide both sides by 3 to get x by itself,

3x/3 = 150/3

x = 50
