Since a total of 55 people rated it good/very good, we know that 1/3 of the viewers are 55 people. So we can set the equation: 1/3x=55
Now, just multiply both sides by 3 (or divide by 1/3, same thing) and get your answer!
Yup! We're all pretty good here.
Answer:
p^(a-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
The simplified expression can be seen in the picture attached below
As the factors have the same base, we just need to add or substract the exponents
p^(a-3+2) = p^(a-1)
Set x as adult tickets.
Set y as children's tickets.
x + y = 15
30x + 20y = 270
Solve for x in the first equation.
x + y = 15
x = 15 - y
Plug this into the second equation.
30x + 20y = 270
30(15 - y) + 20y = 270
450 - 30y + 20y = 270
450 - 10y = 270
-10y = -180
y = 18
If there is 18 childrens tickets, there should be -3 adult tickets.
This is impossible, and this impossible answer occured because the question is written wrong.
There are a total of 15 tickets
The smallest costing ticket is the childrens ticket, which costs 20$.
If he only bought children tickets, this would be 20x15 which is 300$.
300$ is over 270$, which makes the question impossible.
