Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the price of one adult ticket.

Let y represent the price of one student ticket.

On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 24 adult tickets and 3 student tickets for a total of $223.00. This means that

24x + 3y = 223 - - - - - - - - - - - -1

The school took in $152 on the second day by selling 7 adult tickets and 6 student tickets. This means that

7x + 6y = 152 - - - - - - - - - - - - - -2

Multiplying equation 1 by 6 and equation 2 by 3, it becomes

144x + 18y = 1338

21x + 18y = 456

Subtracting, it becomes

123x = 882

x = 882/123

x = 7.17

Substituting x = 7.17 into equation 2, it becomes

7 × 7.17 + 6y = 152

50.19 + 6y = 152

6y = 152 - 50.19 = 101.81

y = 101.81/6 = 16.97

What is the step method to find gcf of 28 and 42
Yuliya22 [10]
First, try multiplying multiple numbers to see if you get these numbers.
2=4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22,24,26,(28),30,32,34,36,38,40,(42)
7=7,14,21,(28),35,(42)
14= 14,(28),(42)
14, would be best; Alternatively, the GCF of 28 and 42 can be found using the prime factorization of 28 and 42.
<span>-The factors of 28 are 28, 14, 7, 4, 2, 1.<span>
-The factors of 42 are 42, 21, 14, 7, 6, 3, 2, 1.
Common numbers: 1 , 2, 7,14 , the largest number that can go into both is 14.
