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.

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer: (x3.19+y1.20 + z1.20) x 1.06

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an expression.

Four-packs of permanent markers in assorted colors for $3.19 per pack.

3.19 x (x number of packs purchased)

spiral-bound notebooks, whether wide-ruled or college-ruled, sell for $1.20 each

1.20 y + 1.20 z (y wide-ruled notebooks, and z college-ruled notebooks)

The store charges a 6% sales tax on Cleo’s total bill, so we have to multiply the expression by 1+ 0.06 ( 1+ tax percentage in decimal form)

(x3.19+y1.20 + z1.20) x 1.06
