For this problem, let x be the number of children and y for adults. Formulate the equations: 1st equation, x + y = 3,200 and 2nd equation 5x + 9y = 24,000. Re-arrange 1st equation into x = 3200 - y. Then, substitute into 2nd equation, 5(3,200-y) + 9y = 24,000. Then, solve for y. The 16,000 - 5y + 9y = 24000. Final answer is, y = 2000 adults went to watch the movie.
Answer:
The fuel economy is 36 miles per gallon. For each mile 1/36 gallon will be used.
Initial volume is 13,2 gallons and x is the number of miles.
<u>Our equation is:</u>
or
Answer:
$3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
Let the cost of drinks be x
and the cost of hotdogs be y
so
3x+4y=15-------1
also
3x+y= 10.5------2
solve 1 and 2
3x+4y=15
-3x+y= 10.5
3y= 4.5
divide both sides by 3
y= 4.5/3
y= $1.5
Put y= 1.5 in 1
3x+4(1.5)=15
3x+6= 15
3x=15-6
3x= 9
x= 9/3
x= $3
Hence the cost of a drink is $3
