$14.25
Step-by-step explanation:
$1.50 = 1 ticket
1.50 * 10 = 15

15 * 0.95 = 14.25
$14.25

Solving (b):
Recall that



<em>148 non students attended</em>
they found $12.04 under the couch and split into two ways getting $6.02 each
We can automatically see that we are dealing with a percent decrease because we are going from a smaller to a bigger number. We need to first find what percent of 140the number 84 is. to do this we can set up the following equation:
140/84=100/x (this equation is basically saying if 140 is 100(%) what would 84 be?)
solving for x here gives us x = (84 X 100)/140 = 60, so 84 is 60 percent of 140 which means 140 decreased by 40 percent.
Let me know if I can clear anything else up.
1 ft = 12 inches....so 4 ft = (4 * 12) = 48 inches
ratio is : 48 to 15...or 48/15 or 48:15......which reduces to 16/5 in lowest terms
