Answer:
503 $1 tickets sold.
Step-by-step explanation:
Use two equations
Let x = number of $1 tickets sold
Let y = number of $1.50 tickets sold
x + y = 739
1x + (1.5)y = 857
First equation ==> y = 739 - x
Plug this into the second equation
x + (1.5)(739 - x) = 857
x + 1108.5 - 1.5x = 857
- 0.5x = -251.5
x = 503
There were 503 $1 tickets sold.
To find the number of $1.50 tickets, just plug this value of x into either one of the equations.
(503) + y = 739 (739 - 503 = 236)
y = 236
There were 236 $1.50 tickets sold.
Answer:
14.14 i hope this helps lol ;)
Marked down 15% means the new price would be 85% of the original price ( 100%-15% - 85%)
Multiply the original price by 85%:
5250 x 0.85 = 4462.50
The new price is $4,462.50
1/3 hour = 20 minutes
1 1/2 dozen = 12 + 6 = 18 cookies
18 cookies x 3 (3 sets of 20 minutes = 1 hour) = 54 cookies per hour
Answer: An adult ticket cost $12
A child ticket cost $5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the price for one adult ticket.
Let y represent the price for one child ticket.
A movie theater sold 4 adult tickets and 7 children's tickets for $83 on Friday. It means that
4x + 7y = 83 - - - - - - - - - - - -1
The next day the theater sold 5 adult tickets and 6 children tickets for $90. It means that
5x + 6y = 90 - - - - - - - - - - - -2
Multiplying equation 1 by 5 and equation 2 by 4, it becomes
20x + 35y = 415
20x + 24y = 360
Subtracting, it becomes
11y = 55
y = 55/11 = 5
Substituting y = 5 into equation 1, it becomes
4x + 7 × 5 = 83
4x + 35 = 83
4x = 83 - 35 = 48
x = 48/4 = 12
