x = # of balcony seats

y = # of orchestra seats

We have to create a system of equations to solve this problem

x + y = 256

$8x + $12y = $2,716

We will solve this system of equations by elimination.

Multiply the first equation by -8

-8x - 8y = -2048

8x + 12y = 2716

Let's add the equations together

0 + 4y = 668

Simplify the left side

4y = 668

Divide both sides by 4

y = 167

We can subtract 167 from 257 to get the number of balcony seats.

257 - 167 = 90 balcony seats

There are 167 orchestra seats and 90 balcony seats

kotegsom [21]

The bag will often contain all three items every 70 bags ⇒ answer C

Step-by-step explanation:

At a display booth at an amusement park, every visitor gets a gift bag

according to these information:

1. Hat Every 2nd visitor

2. T-shirt Every 7th visitor

3. Backpack Every 10th visitor

We need to know how often a bag will contain all three items

To solve this problem you must find a number divisible by 2, 7, and 10

To find that number start with the multiples of the largest one and

check them with the other two numbers

∵ The largest number is 10

∵ The multiples of 10 are 10 , 20 , 30 , 40 , 50 , 60 , 70 , 80 , .......

- Look for the first multiple of 10 is divisible by 7

∵ 70 is the first multiple of 10 divisible by 7

∵ 70 is divisible by 2 because its even number

∴ 70 is the smallest number divisible by 2, 7 and 10

The bag will often contain all three items every 70 bags
