To find the answer, set up a system of equations.

Let x=adult tickets and y=senior citizen tickets.

x+y=556
22x+12y=8492

Change the first equation to make it easy to combine with the second equation.

y=556-x

Now substitute (556-x) for y in the second equation.

22x+12(556-x)=8492

Simplify and combine like terms.

22x+6672-12x=8492
10x=1820
x=182

182 adult tickets were sold, so to solve for the number of senior citizen tickets sold, subtract 182 from 556.

556-182=374

374 senior citizen tickets were sold.

What is greater 3 x 1/10 plus 4 x 1/100 plus 8x 1/1000 greater than one and two tenths
Elena L [17]
So, first let's change these numbers into decimal form:
3*0.1 + 4*0.01 + 8*0.001 ? 1.2
Multiply:
0.3 + 0.04 + 0.008 ? 1.2
0.348 < 1.2
One and two tenths is larger.
Hopefully this is what you're asking, as this question is unclear
