Answer:

113

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of adult tickets sold =a

Let the number of student tickets sold =s

A total of 259 tickets were sold, therefore:

a+s=259

Adult tickets were sold for $24 each and student tickets were sold for $16 each.

Total Revenue = $5,312

Therefore:

24a+16s=5,312

We solve the two derived equations simultaneously.

From the first equation

a=259-s

Substitute a=259-s into 24a+16s=5,312

24(259-s)+16s=5,312

6216-24s+16s=5,312

-8s=5,312-6216

-8s=-904

Divide both sides by -8

s=113

Therefore, 113 student tickets were sold.

1. A football team gains 2 yards on the first play,
Ilya [14]

Option C

The football team had a overall loss of 2 yards

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

When the team gains yards we use a positive value, and when the team loses yards we use a negative value.

<em><u>Given that, football team gains 2 yards on the first play</u></em>

First play = +2

<em><u>Given that football team loses 5 yards on the second play</u></em>

Second play = -5

<em><u>Given that football team loses 3 yards  on the third play</u></em>

Third play = -3

<em><u>Given that football team gains 4 yards on the fourth play</u></em>

Fourth play = +4

Put the yards from four plays together, we get

⇒ 2 -5 -3 + 4

Let us simplify

⇒ -3 -3 + 4 = -6 + 4 = -2

So, -2 represents loss of two yards (since negative value indicates loss)
