57 children tickets were sold on Saturday.

You could set this up as a system of equations.
x + y = 155
6.00x + 9.90y = 1312.20

First step is multiplying the first equation by -6 to use the elimination method.

-6.00x + -6.00y = -930
6.00x + 9.90y = 1312.20

The positive and negative 6x cancel out until you are only left with the y.

Combining them would make your equation...
3.9y = 382.2

Next you would divide by 3.9 on both sides to get the y by itself.

The result of that would be y = 98. Which means 98 adult tickets were sold. Then you would plug y into either of the equations to solve for x.

What is the value of (3/10)3
Elenna [48]

Answer:

\frac{9}{10}

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, one is asked to multiply a fraction by a whole number, first model the question.

\frac{3}{10}(3)

In a situation like this, one multiplies the whole number by the numerator (number) over the fraction.

\frac{3*3}{10}

Simplify,

\frac{9}{10}

A common error that people make is that they will multiply both the numerator and denominator by the whole number, this is the same as multiplying the answer by (1), thus it is incorrect.

The cost of a jacket increased from $85.00 to $94.35. What is the percentage increase of the cost of the jacket?
Serggg [28]
It's an 11% increase. To find this,  you have to subtract 85 from 94.35 and then you divide that difference by the original amount. In this case it's 85. After that, you get .11. Then you just turn it into a percent.

A rectangular poster has an area of 190 inches squared. The height of the poster is one inch less than twice its width. Find the
Annette [7]
Set the height to h, and the width to w.

We know that wh=190 and h=2w-1.

Substituting 2w-1 for h, we have:

w(2w-1)=190

So:
2w^2-w-190=0

Factoring this equation, we get (2w+19)(w-10)=0.  The solutions to this equation are -9.5 and 10, but clearly the width must be positive, Substituting 10 for the width, we get 10*2-1=19 for the height.
