John sold 18 general admission tickets and 11 VIP tickets.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Cost of each general admission = $50
Cost of each VIP ticket = $55
Total tickets sold = 29
Total revenue generated = $1505
Let,
x represent the number of general admission tickets sold
y represent the number of VIP tickets.
x+y=29 Eqn 1
50x+55y=1505 Eqn 2
Multiplying Eqn 1 by 50
Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2
Dividing both sides by 5
Putting y=11 in Eqn 1
John sold 18 general admission tickets and 11 VIP tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:
Longest side is between 36 and 18 feet
18 < L < 36
IF longest side were 36 feet, width =0
IF longest side were 18, then width = 18
to be longest L>W L>18. and L can't be as much as 36 to keep width >0
Answer:
- 273 mL of 5%
- 117 mL of 15%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let q represent the quantity of 15% dressing used. Then the amount of 5% dressing is (390 -q). The amount of vinegar in the mix is ...
0.15q + 0.05(390 -q) = 0.08(390)
0.10q = 31.2 -19.5 = 11.7 . . . . . . subtract 0.05(390) and simplify
q = 117 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 10
390-q = 273
The chef should use 273 mL of the first brand (5% vinegar) and 117 mL of the second brand (15% vinegar).

<em>Additional comment</em>
You may have noticed that the value of q is (0.08 -0.05)/(0.10 -0.05)×390. The fraction of the mix that is the highest contributor is the ratio of the difference between the mix value and least contributor, divided by the difference between the contributors: (8-5)/(15-5) = 3/10, the fraction that is 15% vinegar. This is the generic solution to mixture problems.
The answer would be C)3-x/x(x-1)
