Make an equation.

'is' is an equal sign

The blank can be 'x'

'of' = multiplication

18 = x * 30

Multiply:

18 = 30x

Divide 30 to both sides:

x = 0.6

Multiply by 100:

0.6 * 100 = 60%

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x,\ x\ge 0$ be the number of students and $y,\ y\ge 0$ be the number of adults on the show.

1. Tickets cost $15 for students, so x student tickets cost $15x.

Tickets cost $25 for adults, so y adult tickets cost $25y.

Total cost of all tickets is $(15x + 25y).

The charity show is conducted in order to raise at least $3,750, thus

$15x+25y\ge 3,750$

2. The auditorium can accommodate up to 180 spectators, hence

$x+y\le 180$

3. We get the system of inequalities:

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}x\ge 0\\y\ge 0\\x+y\le 180\\15x+25y\ge 3,750\end{array}\right.$

Plot all solutions sets to each inequality and the common region is the solution set to the system of inequalities. This region is not empty, so the charity will reach its goal. For example, if they sell 50 students tickets and 125 adult tickets, they will raise $\$(15\cdot 50+25\cdot 125)=\$3,875$
