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.

Answer:

<h2>D. (42 - 2x)(32 - 2x) = 900</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Look at the picture.</em>

The formula of an area of a rectangle:

A = l · w

l - length, w - width

Substitute l = (42 - 2x), w = (32 - 2x) and A = 900

Ramona is a saleswoman whose base plus commissions amounted to $52,561 last year. If her base pay was $23,960 and she made $77,3
Ksju [112]

Answer:

37%

Step-by-step explanation:

If Ramona received an overall pay of $52,561 last year, $23,960 of which was base pay, we can first subtract these two numbers to find the amount she made from her sales commission:

$52,561 - $23,960 = $28,601

In order to find her percent commission, we can set up a proportion:

\frac{p}{100}=\frac{28,601}{77,300}, where 'p' is her rate of commission

Cross-multiply and divide:  100(28601) = 77300x or 2,860,100 = 77,300x

Or x = 37%
