$4

You can get this by setting up 2 equations. One for you and one for your friend. Each should have a cost equation. Let x = adult and y = student.

You: 7x + 16y = 120
Friend: 13x + 9 = 140

Solve using any method.

Answer:

The cost of student ticket is $4

Step-by-step explanation:

let

price for an adult = a

price for a student = b

7a + 16b = 120...........(i)

13a + 9b = 140............(ii)

make a subject of the formula in equation(i)

7a = 120 - 16b

divide through by 7

a = 120/7 - 16/7b

insert a in equation(ii)

13(120/7 - 16b/7)  + 9b = 140

1560 /7 - 208b/7 + 9b = 140

collect like terms

(-208b + 63b)/7 = 140 - 1560/7

-145b/7 =(980 - 1560) /7

-145b/7 = -580/7

multiply both sides by 7

-145b = -580

divide both sides by -145

b = -580/-145

b = 4

Insert the value of b in equation(ii)

13a + 9b = 140............(ii)

13a + 9(4) = 140

13a + 36 = 140

13a = 140 - 36

13a = 104

divide both sides by 13

a = 104/13

a = 8

The cost of student ticket is $4

Point E is between points D and F and DE=27 and EF =34.
asambeis [7]
If e is between them, then the distances DE and EF add to the total, DF. So the answer is just 27 + 34 which is 61, A

A 90 oz. bottle of shampoo is sold for $18.95. What is the price per ounce
Veseljchak [2.6K]

This sets up as a very commonly  used proportion.

90 oz / 18.95 = 1 oz / x             Cross multiply

90 x = 18.95                              Divide by 90

x = 18.95 / 90

x = 0.21 dollars or 21 cents.

So each ounce of shampoo costs 0.21 dollars or 21 cents.

This is a very handy way to check best deals. Stores have trained us for years to believe that the more we buy of a brand, the better the price. It isn't always true. Sometimes buying the  smaller quantity is the better deal. There is only one way to be sure and that's to do a proportion like this one.

Try this is an example. The same company makes a smaller container of shampoo of 45 oz for 9.15. How much is 1 oz and which is the better deal? You should get 0.20333 dollars so this is marginally (just) the better deal.
