75%; so if we say there are 100 people in this city that means 60 of them live in houses and 40 of them live in apartments. Of the 60 living in houses 20% of them (12% of total population; 60 x .20) own their own business and those in apartments (40) 10% of them (4% of total pop.; 40 x .10) have their own business. In total 16 of the 100 people have businesses and 12 of those people live in houses so 12/16 equals .75. We multiply this by 100 to get the percent so there’s 75% that a person who owns a business in this city will also live in a house.
Regal theater sold 321 adult tickets and 227 children tickets.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Cost of each adult ticket = $6.50
Cost of each child's ticket = $3.50
Total tickets sold = 548
Total worth of sold tickets = $2881
Let,
x represent the number of adult tickets sold
y represent the number of child tickets sold
According to given statement;
x+y=548 Eqn 1
6.50x+3.50y=2881 Eqn 2
Multiplying Eqn 1 by 6.50

Subtracting Eqn 2 from Eqn 3

Dividing both sides by 3

Putting y=227 in Eqn 1
