Question:
What is the equation for the following statement,"One-half of a number decreased by 3 is 21.
Answer:
<em>half the number = x/2 </em>
<em>decreased by 3 </em>
<em>(x/2) -3 =21</em>
<em>=48</em>
Look it up on google that’s what it’s for
Answer:
Option B is correct = 
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>The complete question is:</u> Which of the following options have the same value as 30% of 81?
Group of choices is:
(A) 
(B) 
(C) 
(D) 
(E)
Now, the expression given to us is 30% of 81.
Simplifying the above expression we get;
30% of 81 =
=
= 
Now, we will solve each of the given options and then see which option matches with our calculation.
Option (A) is given;
= 
This doesn't match with our answer, so this option is not correct.
Option (B) is given;
<u><em>This matches with our answer, so this option is correct.</em></u>
Option (C) is given;
This doesn't match with our answer, so this option is not correct.
Option (D) is given;
= 
This doesn't match with our answer, so this option is not correct.
Option (E) is given;
This doesn't match with our answer, so this option is not correct.
First, we must let:
x = number of tickets intended for adults
y = number of tickets intended for children.
a. Write in terms of x the number of tickets for children
Solution:
x + y = 28 ⇔ y = 28 - x (equation 1)
To answer in terms of x:
no. of tickets for tickets for children = 28 - x
b. the amount spent on tickets for adults
Solution: $30 is the cost of ticket per adult and there are x number of tickets intended for adults.
Therefore,
amount spent on ticket for adults = 30x
c. the amount spent on the tickets.
Solution:
$ 15 = cost of ticket per child
$ 30 = cost of ticket per adult
total amount spent on tickets = 30x + 15y ⇒ (equation2)
substitute equation 1 to equation 2.
(equation 1) y = 28 - x
(equation 2) total amount spent on tickets = 30x + 15y
total amount spent on tickets = 30x + 15(28-x)
total amount spent on tickets = 30x + 420 - 15x
total amount spent on tickets = 15x + 420
