The cost of one adult ticket is $7.5 and one child ticket is $3.5

Julia will pay $48 for 5 adult tickets and 3 child tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Cost of one adult ticket = x

Cost of one child ticket = y

According to given statement;

3x+5y=40    Eqn 1

x+5y=25      Eqn 2

Subtracting Eqn 2 from Eqn 1

(3x+5y)-(x+5y)=40-25\\3x+5y-x-5y=15\\2x=15

Dividing both sides by 2

\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{15}{2}\\x=7.5

Putting x=2.5 in Eqn 1

3(7.5)+5y=40\\22.5+5y=40\\5y=40-22.5\\5y=17.5

Dividing both sides by 5

\frac{5y}{5}=\frac{17.5}{5}\\y=3.5

The cost of one adult ticket is $7.5 and one child ticket is $3.5

5 adult tickets = 5*7.5 = $37.5

3 child tickets = 3*3.5 = $10.5

Total = 37.5+10.5 =$48

Julia will pay $48 for 5 adult tickets and 3 child tickets.

How to convert numbers or decimals to scientific notation?

In scientific notation all numbers are written in the form of m×10n (m times ten raised to the power of n), where the exponent n is an integer, and the coefficient m is any real number, called the significand or mantissa. If the number is negative then a minus sign precedes m (as in ordinary decimal notation).

Solve for c <br><br> a= b+c/d
castortr0y [4]
B+c/d=a  subtract b from both sides

c/d=a-b multiply both sides by d

c=d(a-b) or if you prefer

c=ad-bd

Note: if you meant a=(b+c)/d, multiply both sides by d

b+c=ad  subtract b from both sides

c=ad-b
