In other words, you know that 50 percent of a number is 34 and you want to know what that initial number is.
To solve this problem you multiply 34 by 100 and then divide the total by 50 as follows:
(34 x 100) / 50
When we put that into our calculator, we get the following answer:
68
Answer:
8 books
Step-by-step explanation:
Earning for each ticket is $0.25 and for each book is $2
If total earning for 4 tickets and x books is $17, then the equation is:
- 0.25*4 + 2x = 17
- 1 + 2x = 17
- 2x = 16
- x = 16/2
- x = 8
So Molly purchased 8 books
389 children and 224 adults were at the pool that day.
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of one child ticket = $1.75
Cost of one adult ticket = $2.25
Total people = 613
Total receipts worth = $1184.75
Let,
Number of children = x
Number of adults = y
According to given statement;
x+y=613 Eqn 1
1.75x+2.25y=1184.75 Eqn 2
Multiplying Eqn 1 by 1.75

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

Dividing both sides by 0.50

Putting y=224 in Eqn 1

389 children and 224 adults were at the pool that day.
