Create formulas!

x=number of adult tickets

y=number of student tickets

x+y=644  <em>total sold</em>

56+y=x    <em>student was 56 less than adult</em>

Perform substitution

(56+y)+y=644

56+2y=644

2y=588

y=294

Substitute y into the formula we created

x+294=644

x=350

350 adult tickets were sold.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of adult tickets.

Number of student tickets = 56 fewer than adult tickets

                                            = x - 56

Total tickets  = 644

x + (x - 56) = 644

x + x - 56 = 644

2x - 56 = 644

Add 56 to both sides

2x - 56 + 56 = 644 + 56

2x = 700

Divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = 700/2

x = 350

350 adult tickets were sold

According to the National Center for Health​ Statistics, in​ 1990, 28% of babies in the United States were born to parents who w
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

The year is  b =  1995

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The percentage of the number of babies born out of wedlock in 1990 is  k = 28%

    The percentage by which the number increase per year is  i = 0.6%

     The percentage of of the number of babies born out of wedlock considered is  a = 31%

Generally the difference in between the percentage in 1990 and the percentage considered is  

       d =  a - k

=>    d =  31 - 28

=>   d =  3\%

Generally the number of year require for the percentage to be equal  to  31%  is mathematically represented as

       n = \frac{3\%}{0.6\%}

=>     n = 5\ years

Generally the year which the considered percentage will be attained is  

    b =  1990 + n

=> b =  1990 + 5

=> b =  1995

37 1/2% of _________ is 36, Please help show work I am really confused.
klio [65]

Before you start working on this problem, make sure you know
how to use a couple of the tools in your toolbox:

Tool #1:  37-1/2 percent means 0.375

Tool #2:  In math problems, "of" almost always means "times".

====================================

Your question says

                           "37-1/2 percent of blank is 36".

Translate it with your tools:

                                  0.375  times  blank  =  36 .

Divide each side by 0.375:              Blank = 36 / 0.375 .

Now grab your pencil or your calculator, and find the value of that
fraction (do the division).  Blank is equal to the value of the fraction.


To check your answer (find out whether it's correct):

Do exactly what the question says.

Multiply (0.375) times (your answer).  If you get 36,
then your answer is correct.  If not, it's not.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given equation:</u>

  • -11 2/3 * (-4 1/5)

<u>Simplify, then solve:</u>

  • -11 2/3 * (-4 1/5)
  • = -35/3 * (-21/5)
  • = \frac{-35 * (-21)}{3 * 5}
