1 foot = 12 inches.

The president is 6 x 12 = 72 inches tall.

54 inch model / 72 inches = 0.75 = 3/4

The model is 3/4 scale.

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

562 child tickets were sold

217 adult tickets were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

A festival charges $3 for children admission and $5 for adult admission

At the end of the festival they have sold a total number of 779 tickets for $2771

Let x represent the child ticket

Let y represent the adult ticket

x + y= 779..............equation 1

3x + 5y= 2771..........equation 2

From equation 1

x + y = 779

x= 779 -y

Substitute 779-y for x in equation 2

3x + 5y= 2771

3(779-y) + 5y= 2771

2337 - 3y + 5y= 2771

2337 +2y= 2771

2y= 2771 -2337

2y = 434

y = 434/2

y = 217

Substitute 217 for y in equation 1

x + y= 779

x + 217= 779

x = 779-217

x= 562

Hence 562 child tickets were sold and 217 adult tickets were sold
