Answer: 105 couple tickets and 40 individual tickets
For this I will use the "Graphing Method"
First, we need to set up two equations.
-> Let x be the number of couple tickets.
-> Let y be the number of individual tickets.
-> It is "2x" because a couple means two.
$12x + $8y = $1,580
2x + y = 250
Next, we will graph this.
-> The point at which the two lines intersect is our solution.
-> See attached.
-> x = 105, so 105 couple tickets
-> y = 40, so 40 individual tickets
Have a nice day!
I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly.

Answer:
r=.57
Step-by-step explanation:
Like all problems that involve images within the question, we should definitely try to draw this out. In the picture above, I have done this.
Now, we can see that this is just a simple proportion problem. For every 2.5 cm of height of the flower, we are 2 cm from the opening, or aperture. For every 20 cm of height, how far are we? We can set up the problem like this:
20 ............2.5
-------- = ---------
...x ............. 2
where x is the unknown distance to the aperture from the flower. Now, we just need to get x by itself. A typical way of solving something like this is by doing "butterfly multiplication" which is really just a shortcut haha. Anyway, I can rewrite that equation ^ as:
20×2 = 2.5 × x
Then, to solve for x, we would divide both sides by 2.5. (If you don't know why that is, please let me know and I'll elaborate).
We would then have:
20×2
------- = x
2.5
Which then simplifies to:
x = 16
Try using the same logic for your second question, and if you get stuck, I'd be happy to help! please let me know if any of this doesn't make sense. :)
