You are told that out of the total number of muffins that the baker bakes everyday, 40% of those are blueberry.

A) That means 36 is 40% of some number. There are many ways of solving this. You can create two fractions and set them equal to each other and solve for your missing value. 
One fraction is the fraction of the total number that are blueberry. 40% are blueberry, meaning 40/100 = 4/10 = 2/5 are blueberry. 
The other fraction is the fraction of the total number of muffins baked that the 36 blueberry muffins makes up. Let's call the total number of muffins "x." That means 36/x is the your second fraction.

Set 2/5 equal to 36/x and solve for x by cross-multiplying:
\frac{2}{5} =  \frac{36}{x} \\
2x = 180\\
x = 90

Since x = 90, that means 90 total muffins were baked on Monday.

---------

B) This time you know the total number of muffins that were baked is 60 and you're looking for the number of blueberry muffins. Repeat what we did in part A, but this time we're solving for x as the number of blueberry muffins.
The fraction of all the muffins that are blueberry is still 40% = 2/5. 
The second fraction will be the number of blueberry muffins x over the total number of muffins, 60. So, x/60.

Set 2/5 equal to x/60 and solve for x by cross-multiplying:
\frac{2}{5} = \frac{x}{60} \\
5x = 120\\ 
x = 24

The number of blueberry muffins that the baker makes on Tuesday is 24.

Tickets for a dance recital cost $15 for adults and $7 for children. The dance company sold 253 tickets, and the total receipts
elixir [45]

Answer:

Adult tickets =125

Child tickets = 128

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of adult and children tickets sold be x and y respectively

So that

x+y= 253--------1

Since total sales/receipt is $2,771

And given that tickets for a dance recital cost $15 for adults and $7 for children hence

15x+7y= 2771-------2

Solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously we have

x+y= 253---------------1

15x+7y= 2771----------2

Let us multiply equation 1 by 15 to get equation 3 to eliminate x and subtract equation 2 from 3

15x+15y=3795---------3

-{15x+7y= 2771----------2

0+8y=1024

8y= 1024

y= 1024/8

y= 128 tickets

So solve for x let us put y= 128 in equation 1

x+ 128=253

x=253-128

x= 125 tickets

© Given that R= 9x + 8y
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

-19/9

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you would plug in the numbers for y and r. Therefore, your equation should now be 5 = 9x + 24. Now you would put like terms on the same side. It now then look like -19 = 9x. You divide by 9 to get the x by itself. The answer should be x = -19/9.
