Answer:
266 tickets
Step-by-step explanation:
Ratio of adult tickets to child tickets is 4 : 3
So, if we think of these as "parts", there are 4 parts adult tickets and 3 parts child tickets.
In total there is:
4 + 3 = 7 parts
Now, given 152 adult tickets. If there are 4 parts of adult tickets, how much is each part worth?
152/4 = 38
Total amount of tickets is 7 of these "parts", so total number of tickets is:
38 * 7 = 266 tickets
You have to take $8,550 times 0.12 (12%) to find out the number it is being decreased by.
8,550 x 0.12 = 1,026
And then, you have to subtract 1,026 from 8,550 three times for three years and your answer becomes 5,472.
$5,472
Answer:
the answer would be b
Step-by-step explanation:
the other 2 have negatives and the 3rd option is whole so b
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of ounces of
A = x
B = y
A scientist has two solutions, which she has labeled Solution A and Solution Each contains salt. She knows that Solution A is 40% salt and Solution B is 55% salt. She wants to obtain 90 ounces of a mixture that is 45% salt. How many ounces of each solution should she use?
Our system of equations is given as
x + y = 90.... Equation 1
x = 90 - y
40% × x + 55% × y = 45% × 90 ounces
0.4x + 0.55y = 40.5....Equation 2
We substitute 90 - y for x in Equation 2
Since x=-3y+5, substitute x for -3y+5.
2(-3y+5)+8y=4
Distribute.
-6y+10+8y= 4
2y+10= 4
Subtract 10 on both sides.
2y=-6
Divide by 2.
y=-3
Plug in y=-3.
x=-3(-3)+5
x= 9+5
x=14
(14,-3)
We can check this.
2(14)+8(-3)=4
28-24=4
4=4 <== this works
I hope this helps!
