Answer: 312 students purchased a ticket

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of raffle tickets sold to parents.

Let y represent the number of raffle tickets sold to students.

The school sold 371 tickets. This means that

x + y = 371

x = 371 - y

The parent tickets cost $6 each and the student tickets cost $1.50 each and the school raised a total of $822. This means that

6x + 1.5y = 822 - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 371 - y into equation 1, it becomes

6(371 - y) + 1.5y = 822

2226 - 6y + 1.5y = 822

- 6y + 1.5y = 822 - 2226

- 4.5y = - 1404

y = -1404/-4.5

y = 312

x = 371 - y

x = 371 - 312

x = 59

       +8n               +8n

-3 + 28n \geq  -32\\+3                      +3\\28n  \geq  -29\\/28              /28\\n \geq \frac{-29}{28}

A group of 8 friends went to lunch and spent a total of $76, which included the food bill and a tip of $16. They decided to spli
Rudik [331]

Answer:

1) The equation 1/8(x+16)=76/8 represents the situation, where x is the food bill.

2) The solution x=60 represents the total food bill.

These both answers are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 8 group of friends, and the total amount spent by them is $76 including the tip i.e $16.

If x is the food bill our equation can be:

(x+16)/8 = 76/8

Solving the equation

(x+16)/8 = 9.5

x+16= 9.5*8

x= 76 -16

x= 60

The food bill is x=60.
