Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a-number of advance tickets
s-number of same day tickets
a*40+s*25=2400
a +s =75
I solve with the substitution method
s=75-a
40a+25*(75-a)=2400
40a+1875-25a=2400
15a=2400-1875
15a=525
a=525/15
a=35
so s=75-35
s=40
To answer this you could do a couple things. 1. Actually calculate both tips and then subtract them. Here is the math ( assuming it is $60, not 60% that you mean). a. 0.15 x 60 = $9. b. 0.0825 x 2 x 60=$9.90. c. 9.90-9.00= $0.90 difference.
The other strategy would be to find the difference on the percents and then multiply by $60. a. 8.25%x2=16.5%-15%. Difference of 1.5%. b. 0.015 x $60=$0.90.
The slope is -2. You find this by putting the rise between the two points over the run.
Since he sells 5 large cards for every 2 small, we can multiply the number of small cards he needs to sell by 2.5 to find how many large cards he needs to sell.
So let x=the number of small cards sold, and 2.5x=the number of large cards sold
The equation is:Total profit=x+(2.5x)
Since a small card is $2.5, a large card is $4, and the total profit will be $10,000 plug those in to make the equation:
10,000=2.5x+4(2.5x)
We can combine the x's to get 10,000=12.5x and then divide both sides by 12.5 to get x=800.
So he needs to sell 800 small cards.
Multiply that by that 2.5.
And he needs to sell 2000 large cards.
