It is not a sum, it is a product.
3 times x = 24 (write equation)
3x = 24 (isolate x by dividing the coefficient, 3, on both sides)
/3 /3
x = 8 (this i your answer)
Therefore 3 times 8 gives you 24.
Answer: Answer C , Only student 2, because dilation preserve angle measures and side lengths are proportional
Answer:
The results don't make sense
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve by means of a 2x2 system of equations, we have to:
"x" is the number of children's tickets
"y" is the number of adult tickets
Thus:
8 * x + 8.75 * y = 259
x + y = 35 => x = 35 - y
replacing we have:
8 * (35 - y) + 8.75 * y = 259
280 - 8 * y + 8.75 * y = 259
- 8 * y + 8.75 * y = 259 - 280
0.75 * y = -21
y = -21 / 0.75
y = -28
Thus:
x = 35 - (-28) = 63
With these results we notice that the problem has inconsistency, since the value of the tickets cannot be given a negative number, I recommend reviewing the problem, since the approach is correct.
If it is on sane for 25% off, that's the same as being on sale for 75% of the original price.
Multiply the original cost by 75% in decimal form.
30*.75=22.5
Final answer: $22.50
