Answer:

no of child tickets sold were 58

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of child ticket sold be x

cost of 1 child ticket = $6.10

Total cost of x child ticket = x*cost of 1 child ticket = = $6.10x

Let the number of adult ticket sold be y

cost of 1 adult ticket = $9.90

Total cost of y adult ticket = y*cost of 1 adult ticket = = $9.90y

Given total ticket sold = 142

Thus,

number of child ticket sold +  number of adult ticket sold = 142

x + y = 142   - equation 1

x = 142 -y  

Total sales of ticket = $1185.40

total sales of ticket  = Total cost of x child ticket + Total cost of x a dult ticket

6.10x + 9.90y = 1185.40

in this equation substituting x = 142 - y from equation 1

6.10(142 - y )  + 9.90y = 1185.40

=>866.2 - 6.10y + 9.90y = 1185.40

=> 3.80y = 1185.40 - 866.2

=> 3.80y = 319.2

=> y = 319.2/3.80 = 84

Thus, y = 84

x = 142 - y  = 142 - 84 = 58

Thus, no of child tickets sold were 58

To answer this question you you start by writing the equation. (2*64)+(4*48)= Next, you answer the first parenthesis: 2 times 64... this is 128....now you have 128+(4*48)=... now you answer the next set of parenthesis.... 4 times 48....this is 192...now you have 128+192=.....this is 320...............So the answer to your question is sandys pitcher can hold 320 ounces alltogether.

Find four consecutive integers such that the sum of the two largest subtracted from three times the sum of the two smallest is 7
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

18, 19, 20, 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Just like any of these problems, we should start by forming an equation for us to get a reference and plug in. We'll be using x as our variables.

As we have four consecutive integers (and not multiples) we can assume that the integers will be x, x+1, x+2, and x+3.

The sum of the two largest integers we have equals: n+2 + n+3 = 2n+5

and three times the sum of the two smallest = 3(n + n+1) = 6n+3

and the sum of t he two largest subtracted from three times the sum of the two smallest = (6n+3) - (2n+5) = 4n-2

4n-2=70

4n=68

n = 18.

n = 18, n+1 = 19, n+2 = 20, n+3 = 21
