The question is ambiguous.

A is right if the second hour is in terms of the original amount (16 grams). That is not how it should be done, but there is nothing in the problem restricting us from doing it that way.

B is right the way most people would do the problem. I would say you should accept this as the right answer. The 4.5% is taken away from what was left after the first hour. I would do it that way left to my own devices.

C. The % conversions are not correct. Those conversions are 35% and 45%
C is not even in contention for being right.

D Same problem as C

The school that Jaidee goes to is selling tickets to the annual talent show. On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 10

Olenka [21]

The price of a senior citizen ticket is $8 and the price of a student ticket is$ 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of one seniors citizen ticket be x and student be y

First day:

10 seniors citizen tickets and 11 student for a total of $190.

10x + 11y = 190-----------------------------(1)

Second day:

$160 on the second day by selling 5 senior citizen tickets and 12 student tickets.

5x + 12y = 160---------------------------------(2)

Multiply eq(2) by 2

10x + 24y = 320----------------------------(3)

Subtract eq(1) from (3)

10x + 24y = 320

10x + 11y = 190

-----------------------------

0x + 13 y = 130

---------------------------

13y = 130

$y = \frac{130}{13}$

y = 10-------------------------------(4)

Substituting (4) in (2)

5x + 12(10) = 160

5x + 120 = 160

5x = 160-120

5x = 40

$x = \frac{40}{5}$

x = 8
