The answer to this problem is B
Okay. You can decompose 749 with these ways:
700 + 40 + 9
or
500 + 200 + 40 + 9
Answer:
Senior citizen tickets = $9
Student tickets = $11
Step-by-step explanation:
We begin by converting these into simultaneous linear equation;
Senior citizen tickets = a
Student tickets = b
5a + 9b = 144
14a + 6b = 192
5a = 144 - 9b
a = 144/5 - 9b/5
a = 28.8 - 1.8b
We now substitute this into the first equation
14(28.8 - 1.8b) + 6b = 192
403.2 - 25.2b +6b = 192
-19.2b = 192 - 403.2
b = -211.2/-19.2
b = 11
Put the value of b into either equation
5a + 9b = 144
5a + 9(11) = 144
5a +99 = 144
5a = 144-99
5a = 45
a = 9
Answer:
x + 61 = 411
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the number of adult tickets sold
Let x + 61 = the number of student tickets sold
x + x + 61 = 761
2x = 700
x = 350
