6 children and 2 adults are going to the circus, children tickets are on sale, half the price of adult tickets totaling $54. How

inna [77]

Answer:

Price of 1 child ticket is $5.4

Price of 1 adult ticket is $10.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

6 children and 2 adults are going for circus.

Children ticket is half the price of adult ticket.

Total ticketing cost =$54

To find:-

Cost of 1 child ticket=?

Cost of 1 Adult ticket=?

Solution:-

Let price of 1 child ticket be x and price of 1 adult ticket be y,

therefore from the given data we get 2 equations,

$6x+2y=54$ -----------------------------------(1)

$x=\frac{1}{2} y$ --------------------------------(2)

Now, substituting the value of x from equation 2 in equation 1,

$6x+2y=54$

$6(\frac{1}{2} y)+2y=54$

$\frac{6}{2}y+2y=54$

$3y+2y=54$

$5y=54$

$\therefore y=\frac{54}{5}$

$\therefore y =10.8$ ------------------------(3)

Now, substituting the value of y from equation 3 in equation 2,

$x=\frac{1}{2} y$

$\therefore x=\frac{1}{2} \times 10.8$ ------------(from equation 3)

$\therefore x=\frac{10.8}{2}$

$\therefore x=5.4$ ----------------------(4)

As, x is price of 1 child ticket and y is price of 1 adult ticket,

Therefore price of 1 child ticket is $5.4 and price of 1 adult ticket is $10.8

If 5x:(x-2) = 11:3 , find the value of x ?

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

x = -11/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratios need to stay the same

5x 11

----- = -------

x-2 3

Using cross products

5x*3 = (x-2) 11

15x = 11x - 22

Subtract 11 from each side

15x-11x = -22

4x = -22

x = -22/4

x = -11/2

tom rides the bus part of the way to school and then he walks the rest pf the way. he walks five minutes longer than he rides. t

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

16 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Tom walks for 5 minutes longer than he rides. To figure out the answer, start by subtracting 5:

27 - 5 = 22

Now that you have done this, divide 22 by 2:

22/2 = 11

Now you know that he rode the bus for 11 minutes, and you can add five to the other 11 minutes to know how long he walked:

11 + 5 = 16.
