For example a stands for the number of adult tickets, and s stands for the number of student tickets.

Write a system of equation based on the problem
An equation for "<span>A total of 679 tickets were sold for the school play"
</span>∴ a + s = 679 <em>(first equation)</em>
An equation for "<span>there were 71 fewer student tickets sold than adult tickets"
</span>∴ s = a - 71 <em>(second equation)</em>
<span>
Find the solution of the system
Subtitute s with a - 71 in the first equation to find the value of a
a + s = 679
a + a - 71 = 679
2a - 71 = 679
2a = 679 + 71
2a = 750
  a = 750/2
  a = 375
The number of adult tickets sold is 375</span>

5 - x = 12

-5         -5

-x = 7

svp [43]

Answer:

The Total amount of of 33 boxes of chocolates including taxes is $838.358

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The sales tax rate for city = 4.306%

The sales tax rate for the state = 44%

Total number of boxes = 33

The price of each chocolates = $17.13

So , The price of 33 boxes of chocolates = $17.13 × 33

I.e The price of 33 boxes of chocolates = $565.29

Now total tax including state and city =  4.306% + 44% = 48.306 %

So, The tax amount paid for 33 boxes of chocolates = 48.306 % of $565.29

∴    The tax amount paid for 33 boxes of chocolates = 48.306 % × $565.29

                                                                       = 0.48306× $565.29

                                                                       = $273.068

∴ The Total amount of of 33 boxes of chocolates including taxes = $565.29 +  $273.068 = $838.358

Hence The Total amount of of 33 boxes of chocolates including taxes is $838.358 . Answer
