45 adult tickets and 80 children tickets were sold

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "a" be the number of adult tickets sold

Let "c" be the number of children tickets sold

Cost of 1 adult ticket = $ 6

Cost of 1 children ticket = $ 3.50

<em><u>They sold a total of 125 tickets</u></em>

Therefore,

a + c = 125

c = 125 - a --------- eqn 1

<em><u>They made a total of $550. Therefore, frame a equation as:</u></em>

number of adult tickets sold x Cost of 1 adult ticket + number of children tickets sold x Cost of 1 children ticket = 550

a \times 6 + c \times 3.50 = 550\\

6a + 3.50c = 550 ----------- eqn 2

<em><u>Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2</u></em>

<em><u>Substitute eqn 1 in eqn 2</u></em>

6a + 3.50(125 - a) = 550

6a + 437.5 - 3.50a = 550

2.5a = 112.5

<h3>a = 45</h3>

<em><u>Substitute a = 45 in eqn 1</u></em>

c = 125 - 45

<h3>c = 80</h3>

Thus 45 adult tickets and 80 children tickets were sold

Can u help with my homework
valkas [14]
Basically what this is, is:

100% = 100/100

Basically, to get the fraction, you just set the denominator as 100 and move the percentage up. You can then multiply by as many powers of 10 as needed or simplify the fraction as many times as needed.

Ex:

78.7% = ?/100

Just put 78.7 into that question mark spot to get:

78.7/100 = 78.7%

Now, you multiply the whole thing by 10/10:

787/1000

So that's your fraction.

29% = ?/100

Then it would be,

29/100.

55.8%: 558/1000, you could simplify that by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2, and you would get 279/500.

28.2%: 282/1000, simplify that: 141/500

82%: 82/100, 41/50

74%: 74/100, 37/50

91.8%: 918/1000, 459/500

72%: 72/100, 18/25

129%: 129/100

15.8%: 158/1000, 79/500

24.3%: 243/1000

93%: 93/100

Select the correct answer from the drop-down menu. consider the equations y = |x − 1| and y = 3x 2. the approximate solution of
kaheart [24]

The approximate solution of this system of equations is

(x,y)=(-0.25,1.25)

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

Equation is defined as the state of being equal and is often shown as a math expression with equal values on either side, or refers to a problem where many things need to be taken into account.

Given that,

y = |x − 1| and y = 3x+2

 y = |x − 1|

    = (x-1) ,    for  (x-1)>0 or x>1

and

y = -(x-1)  ,    for(x-1)<0  or x<1

y  = -x+1      

Now,   For x>1

y = x-1    ......(1)

y = 3x+2   ......(2)

Solving for x by equaliting's method:

 3x+2 = x-1

→ 3x-x = -1-2

→ 2x = -3

→ x = -3/2

→ x = -1.5 which is <1.

For x<1

y = -x+1    ......(1)

y = 3x+2   ......(2)

Solving for x by equaliting's method:

 3x+2 = -x+1

→ 3x+x = 1-2

→ 4x = -1

→ x = -1/4

→ x= -0.25 which is <1.

substitute the value of x = -0.25 in equation 1 for x<1.

y = -x+1

  = -(-0.25)+1

y  = 1.25

Hence, The approximate solution of this system of equations is

(x,y)=(-1/4,5/4)=(-0.25,1.25).

What are the steps to this equation. 7 3/7 - 2 5/7
nignag [31]
Here is your answer:

7. 3×1=3
7×1=7


2. 5×1=5
7×1=7

=5 -2/7

Step one: write the equation

Step two: find the common denommarator (which is 7)

Step three: subtract 3-5= which equals to negative 2

Step four: subtract the whole numbers ( 7 and 2) which gives you five

Your answer is...

5 -2/7
