Answer:
340
Step-by-step explanation:
As it was increased by 25%, $425 is 125% of the original price, so we can get back to 100% by dividing 425 by 5 [85], so 85 is 25% of the price. We can now get the original price by subtracting 85 from 425 (or you could multiply 85 by 4) which is 340
You can check this answer by multiplying 340 by 1.25
If the answer is 425, then it is correct, else, not. [it is]

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Number of adult tickets sold= 100
Step-by-step explanation:
Giving the following information:
Adults tickets= $15
Student tickets= $10
Number of tickets sold= 150
Total sales= $2,000
<u>First, we determine the systems of equations:</u>
15*x + 10*y= 2,000
x + y = 150
x= number of adults tickets sold
y= number of students tickets sold
<u>Now, we isolate x in one equation, and substitute it in the other one:</u>
x= 150 - y
15*(150 - y) + 10y = 2,000
2,250 - 15y + 10y = 2,000
250 = 5y
50= y
x= 150 - 50
x= 100
<u>Prove: </u>
15*100 + 10*50= 2,000
100 + 50 = 150
X= 9/2, 15/2
decimal form: 4.5,-7.5
mixed number form: 4 1/2, -7 1/2
