Adult tickets to a play cost $22.00 Tickets for children cost $15.00. Tickets for a group of 11 people cost a total of $228.00.

Write and solve a system of equations to find how many children and how many adults were in the group.
Here is the set up:

Let x represent the number of adults
Let y represent the number of children

x + y = 11 (only 11 people were in the group )
22x + 15y = 228 ( This is the equation that deals with money )

Now you finish it.

Answer:

The answer to your question is 9 adults and 2 children

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

adult ticket = $22

children ticket = $15

Total people= 11

total cost = $228

Number of adults = x = ?

Number of children = y = ?

Process

1.- Write equation to solve the problem

              x + y = 11                           Equation l

           22x + 15y = 228                  Equation ll

-Solve Equation l by x

              x = 11 - y                            Equation lll

-Substitute equation lll in equation ll

          22(11 - y) + 15y = 228

-Solve for y

         242 - 22y + 15y = 228

-Simplify like terms

                -7y = 228 - 242

                -7y = -14

                   y = -14/-7

                  y = 2

-Find x

              x = 11 - 2

              x = 9

2.- Conclusion

There were 9 adults and 2 children.

The sales tax in your city is 8.8%, and an item costs $55 dollars before tax. How much would you pay for that item?
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

The answer is $ 59.84

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, I know this is not one of the options, but hear me out:

To find the sales tax for that item, you need to multiply the dollar amount by the sales tax (in percent):

$55 * 8.8% = $4.84

So the sales tax is $4.84.  However, the question asks "How much would you pay for that item?", not what the sales tax is.  So I would solve this problem by adding the sales tax to the dollar amount of the item:

$55 + $4.84 = $ 59.84

If you are able to write or type your answer, I would type $ 59.84. If you can only select one of the given values, then I would suggest going with             A: $ 4.84 just because its the only number that is actually relevant at all to the problem.
