Sold 2/5 in the morning.....leaving 3/5
he sold 3/4 of 3/5 in the afternoon......3/4 * 3/5 = 9/20

2/5 = 8/20
9/20 - 8/20 = 1/20...so he sold 1/20 more in the afternoon.
so if 1/20 = 24, then 20/20 = 24*20 = 480

so he started with 480 cartons

<h3>Question:</h3>

<em>Jon is selling tickets for the school talent show. On the 1st day, he sold 3 senior tickets and 12 child tickets for $195. On the 2nd day he sold 13 senior tickets for $299. Find the price of a senior citizen ticket.</em>

<h3>Answer:</h3>
  • $23

Create a system of equations to help you solve this problem. The system of equations will look like: 3s + 12c = 195 and 13s = 299. The variable s represents the cost of senior tickets and the variable c represents the cost of children tickets.

\left \{ {{3s~+~12c~=~195} \atop {13s~=~299}} \right.

Solve the second equation for the variable s as this is the easiest way to solve the problem. Solve the second equation for s by dividing both sides of the equation by 13 to isolate the variable s.

s = 23

Since the question was only asking for the price of a senior citizen ticket, you are technically done. The first equation was only put there to confuse you or allow you to check your work if you needed to. The price of a senior citizen ticket (variable s) is $23.

Anyone know how to do this? 15 points.

It's angles 9 and 10.

Supplementary angles are two angles that add up to 180°.

So, supplementary angles both "stick" off of a straight line. (Because a straight line is 180°).
