Answer:

56 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

When her gas tank is full, she has x gallons in the tank.

when she went to the gas station, she had (5/8) of x gallons of gas in her tank. she added 21 gallons into her tank, then she had x gallons in her tank.

(5/8)x + 21 = x

subtract x and 21 from both sides

(5/8)x - x = -21

factor out an x from the left side

x(5/8 - 1) = -21

simplify the parenthesis

x(-3/8) = -21

multiply both sides by -8/3

x= 56 gallons

During a concert, $3280 was received. A total of 760 people attended. Reserved seats were $6 and general admission seats were $4
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

The number of reserved seat is 120 and number of general seat is 640.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total number of seats = 760

Total collected Money = $3280

Solution,

Let the total number of reserved seat be x.

And  the total number of general seat be y

Hence total number of seats is the sum of total number of reserved seat and  the total number of general seats.

So the equation can be written as;

x+y=760\ \ \ \ equation\ 1

Again, total money collected is the sum of fees of one reserved seat times total number of reserved seat and fees of one general seat times the total number of general seats.

So the equation can be written as;

6x+4y=3280\ \ \ \ \ equation\ 2

Now, multiplying equation 1 by 4 and then subtract it from equation 2.

4x+4y=3040

(6x+4y)-(4x+4y)=3280-3040\\\\2x=240\\\\x=\frac{240}{2}=120

On substituting the value of x in equation 1, we get;

x+y=760\\120+y=760\\y=760-120=640

Thus the number of reserved seat is 120 and number of general seat is 640.
