1. We assume, that the number 20 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task. 
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for. 
3. If 20 is 100%, so we can write it down as 20=100%. 
4. We know, that x is 90% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=90%. 
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 20=100%
2) x=90%
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
20/x=100%/90%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 90% of 20

20/x=100/90
(20/x)*x=(100/90)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
20=1.11111111111*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.11111111111) to get x
20/1.11111111111=x 
18=x 
x=18
now we have: 
90% of 20=18

The number of customers in a store on the first day is represented by: (6x - 3) The number of customers on the second day is rep
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:the expression is 5x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of customers in a store on the first day is represented by: (6x - 3).

The number of customers on the second day is represented by: (x - 1)

An expression to find how many more customers visited the store on the first day would be the difference between the number of customers that visited the store on the first day and the number of customers that visited the store on the second day. The expression becomes

6x - 3 - (x - 1)

= 6x - 3 - x + 1

= 6x - x - 3 + 1

= 5x - 2

Can someone give me an answer for this?
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

444 adult ticket

763 student ticket

Step-by-step explanation:

let a = number of adult ticket

let s = number of student ticket

s+a=1207

5a+s=2983

get s by itself in the 1st equation so you can plug it into the 2nd

s+a=1207

-a      -a

s=1207-a

5a+(1207-a)=2983

solve for a

4a+1207=2983

-1207      -1207

4a= 1776

444

this is adult ticket amount

subtract this from 1207 to get student amount

1207-444=763
