At a carnival, food tickets cost $2 each and ride tickets cost $3 each. A total of $1,240 was collected at the carnival. The num

ber of food tickets sold was 10 less than twice the number of ride tickets sold.
The system of equations represents x, the number of food tickets sold, and y, the number of ride tickets sold.

2x + 3y = 1240

x = 2y – 10

How many of each type of ticket were sold?

in the equation as we can say x= 2y-10.

so, substitute x=2y-10 everywhere then the x in 1240 gets cancelled with 2y-10 then solve the remaining you will get 4y-20+3y=1240

7y=1260

y=1260/7

y=180

then substitute the value of y everywhere

2x+3y=1240

2x+3(180)=1240

2x=1240-540

2x=700

x=350

DONE.

jester has a piece of wood measuring 1 and 2/3 m.he needs to cut in pieces measuring 3/4 m long.how many pieces of wood did jest
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

2 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length = 1\frac{2}{3}m

Pieces = \frac{3}{4}m

Required

Calculate the number of pieces

To do this, we have to divide the length of the wood by the length of each piece.

Represent this with x

x= \frac{Length}{Pieces}

x= 1\frac{2}{3}/\frac{3}{4}

Convert mixed numbers to improper fraction

x= \frac{5}{3}/\frac{3}{4}

Change division to multiplication

x= \frac{5}{3}*\frac{4}{3}

x= \frac{20}{9}

x = 2.22

<em></em>x = 2<em> </em>

What number increased by 62%, results in the value of 59.94
lakkis [162]

Answer:

The number is : x = 37

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this question, we may set up a proportion.

If the original number is 100%, 59.94 would be 162% of the original, as it was increased by 62%.

so

59.94 → 162%

x → 100%

solving the proportion gives you  

59.94 × 100 = 162 × x

x = (59.94 × 100)/162

x =  5994/162

x= 37

Thus, the number is : x = 37

Dafna11 [192]
Correct answer is 33.1 m.

Use The definition of trigonometric functions. The sine of an angle is the quotient of the opposite side and hypotenuse.

sin{65^o}= \frac{30}{x} &#10;\\x= \frac{30}{sin{65^o}}&#10;\\x=33.1 &#10;
