Answer:

The number of adult tickets are 57.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total number of tickets = 156

Total money = $1077.60

Solution,

Let the number of adult be x and of child be y .

So, Total number of tickets = Number of adults + Number of child

\therefore x+y = 156\ \ \ \ \ \ equation\ 1

Now, according to question;

Total money = Number\ of\ adults\times admission\ fee + Number\ of\ child\times admission\ fee

\therefore x\times 9.70+y\times 5.30 = 1077.60\ \ \ \ \ \ equation\ 2

On multiplying by 10 on both side, we get;

97x+53y=10776\ \ \ \ \ \ equation\ 3

Now multiplying equation 1 by 53 then subtract it from equation 3, we get;

(x+y)\times53 = 156\times53\\53x+53y=8268\\(97x+53y=10776)-(53x+53y=8268)\\44x=2508\\x=\frac{2508}{44} =57

Since x is the  number of adults,

Number of adults=57

Number of child = y = 156-57=99

Thus the number of adult tickets are 57.

Use the substitution methods to solve the system of equations. Choose the correct ordered pair. y=7x+8 y=x+20
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

d

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution by substitution method

y=7x+8

∴y-7x=8

and y=x+20

∴y-x=20

Suppose,

-7x+y=8→(1)

and -x+y=20→(2)

Taking equation (1), we have

-7x+y=8

⇒y=7x+8→(3)

Putting y=7x+8 in equation (2), we get

-x + 7x + 8 = 20

6x = 20-8

6x = 12

x= 12 / 6

x = 2

substitute for x in equation (3)

y = 7(x) + 8

y = 7(2) + 8

y = 22

What number is 25% of 180
TiliK225 [7]
'what number' indicates an unknown value we can represent with 'x'

'is' indicates an equal sign.

25% = 0.25

'of' indicates multiplication.

x = 0.25 * 180

x = 45
