Answer:

  • Keisha  is right.
  • No, only 1 ratio works

Step-by-step explanation:

  • You want the units to be dollars / mango.
  • You have 10 dollars. How many mangos can you buy and at what price. They are selling mangoes for more than a dollar each.
  • The answer should be $1.25 per mango. Think of it this way:
  • If the cost of a mango was $1.00 you would be able to get 10 of them. Do you agree? Since you can only get 8, they must be more than a dollar each.
  • The ratio can only be written in one way. 10/8 = 1.25

Answer

  • Keisha  is right.
  • No, only 1 ratio works

the starving actors guild holds its annual winter arts festival in hopes of raising $13,344 by selling 824 tickets. The guild ch
kap26 [50]
A + c = 824                             represents number of tickets to sell
20a + 12c = 13,344                represents cost of each type of ticket

multiply equation 1 by -12 to cancel the variable 'c' and solve for 'a'

-12(a + c = 824)

-12a - 12c = - 9888
 20a + 12c = 13,344         add equations together
-----------------------------
    8a          = 3456           divide both sides by 8
     a = 432

To find children's tickets substitute adult numbers back into equation 1.
a + c = 824
432 + c = 824
subtract 432 from both sides
c = 392

adult 432, children 392
