Answer:
-16
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to start by answering the parenthesis first then continue with the question
X= number of adult tickets
y=number of child tickets.
we can suggest this system of equations:
x+y=118 ⇒x=118-y
7.5x+3y=696
we can solve this system of equations by substitution method:
7.5(118-y)+3y=696
885-7.5y+3y=696
-4.5y=-189
y=-189/-4.5
y=42
x=118-y
x=118-42
x=76
Answer: the number of adult tickets sold was 76.
Answer: 40 pounds of cashews should be mixed with the peanuts to ensure no change in the revenue
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of pounds of cashews that should be mixed with the peanuts to ensure no change in the revenue.
The nut store normally sells cashews for $4.00 per pound and peanuts for $1.50 per pound.
In order to sell 60 pounds of peanuts, the manager decided to mix the 60 pounds of peanuts with some cashews and sell the mixture for $2.50 per pound. It means that
4x + (1.5 × 60) = 2.5(60 + x)
4x + 90 = 150 + 2.5x
4x - 2.5x = 150 - 90
1.5x = 60
x = 60/1.5
x = 40
You shouldnt be cheating! what would your guardian say!!!
*edit*
<span>dont even need a protracter b/c there all evenly spaced and a line = 180 so 180 / 3 is 60</span>
