Let x = number of adult tickets, and y = number of children tickets. One equation must deal with the number of tickets, and the other equation must deal with the revenue from the tickets.
Then x + y = 300 is the number of tickets
12x + 8y = 3280 is the revenue from the tickets.
Using the substitution method:
x + y = 300 ⇒ y = 300 - x ⇒ Equation (3)
12x + 8y = 3280 ⇒ 12x + 8(300-x) = 3280 ⇒ x = 220
y = 300 - x ⇒ y = 300-220 ⇒ 80
Therefore 220 adult tickets and 80 children's tickets were sold.
Step-by-step explanation:
In triangle
x²=5²+12²
x²=25+144
x²=169
x= root of 169
x=13
3/5 is bigger because 4/7 = 20/35 and 3/5 = 21/35
