Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price for children and adults package be represented with x and y respectively.

For the first week the sum of the package will be as follows:

3x+8y = 126

For the two weeks after:

6x+4y= 108

So, we will be having two equations

3x+8y = 126..... (1)

6x+4y= 108.......(2)

These are simultaneous equations

From equation 1

3x+8y = 126

3x = 126-8y

X = 126-8y/3 ............. (3)

Put equation 3 into 2

6 ( 126-8y)/3 +4y = 108

756-48y/3 +4y = 108

756-48y+12y/3 = 108

Cross multiplying

756-48y+12y= 108×3

756-48y+ 12y = 324

Collecting like terms

756-324 = 48y-12y

432= 36y

Divide both sides by 36

432/36 = 36y/36

y= 12

Substituting y into equation 1

3x+8= 126

3x+96=126

3x= 126-96

3x= 30

Divide both sides by 3

3x/3 = 30/3

x = 10

Hence for each of the packages for children and adults. It will be 10 and 12 respectively.

Rewriting standard form to slope intercept
algol [13]

If you're asking how, here's an example

A standard form equation is when it is set up.

Ax + By = C.

6x + 2y = 4.

A slope-intercept form equation is when it is set up y=mx+b.

Y = - 3x + 2.

4y = -8x + 16 then divide all by 4.

y = -2x + 4 slope form.

An item on sale costs 25% of the original price. If the original price was $20 , what is the sale price?
Lorico [155]
So an additional discount of 50% off the sale price would bringthe price to 35% (that is, 50% • 70%) of the original price. Thus, a $100item would cost $35 after both discounts. An 80% off sale means thatyou pay 100% – 80%, or 20% of the original cost of the item.
