Answer:

995 general admission tickets and 260 reserved seat tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this by using Simultaneous equations.

General admission is $4.00 and each Reserved seat is $4.50.

Let g represent the number of General admission tickets and r represent the number of Reserved seat tickets.

The total amount paid for 1255 tickets is $5150.00.

This means two things:

1. The total number of tickets is 1255, which means if we add the general admission tickets and the number of reserved seat tickets, we will get 1255:

g + r = 1255 ________________ (1)

2. The total price of all tickets is $5150.00, which means if we multiply the number of general admission tickets by the price of general admission tickets and we multiply the number of reserved seat tickets by the price of reserved seat tickets and add them up, we will get $5150:

(4.00*g) + (4.50*r) = 5150 _________(2)

=> g + r = 1255 __________________(1)

   (4.00*g) + (4.50*r) = 5150  _________(2)

From (1):

g = 1255 - r _______ (3)

Putting (3) in (2):

{4.00*(1255 - r)} + (4.50*r) = 5150

5020 - 4.00r + 4.50r = 5150

5020 + 0.50r = 5150

=> 0.50r = 5150 - 5020

0.50r = 130

r = 130 / 0.50 = 260

Putting the value of r in (3):

g = 1255 - 260 = 995

Hence, 995 general admission tickets and 260 reserved seat tickets were sold.

Jalen made $533.75 while working at his job. He makes $15.25 an hour, how many hours did he work to make that amount of money?
mixer [17]

Answer:

35 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Typically, people get their paycheck after 2 weeks.

Let say he worked 8 hours a day, a typical amount of hours for the average human who has a occupation.

Multiply the amount of hours by the amount payed every hour.

So 15.25 x 8 is 122

( so in 8 hours jalen made $122)

Add 8 hours, which would now be 16 hours worked.

16 x 15.25 = 244

(so in 16 hours jalen made $244)

Add another 8 hours of work time which would now be 24 hours (1 full day)

24x5.25=366

Add 10 hours on now which would be 34 hours worked (2 days = 48 hours meaning she worked 1 day and 10 hours )

34x15.25=518.50

(getting closer to the amount she earned)

So if we add another hour

which would be 35 hours worked (1 day 11 hours)

35 x 15.25 = 533.75

Therefore, Jalen worked 35 hours.
