Answer:

Children: $13

Adults: $18

Step-by-step explanation:

Well for both sets we can set up the following system of equations,

\left \{ {{3a + 4c = 106} \atop {2a + 3c = 75}} \right.

So first we need to solve for a in the first equation.

3a + 4c = 106

-4c to both sides

3a = -4c + 106

Divide 3 by both sides

<u>a = -4/3c + 35 1/3</u>

Now we plug in that a for a in 2a + 3c = 75.

2(-4/3c + 35 1/3) + 3c = 75

-8/3c + 70 2/3 + 3c = 75

Combine like terms

1/3c + 70 2/3 = 75

-70 2/3 to both sides

1/3c = 4 1/3

Divide 1/3 to both sides

c = 13

Now we can plug in 13 for c in 3a + 4c = 106,

3a + 4(13) = 106

3a + 52 = 106

-52 to both sides

3a = 54

Divide 3 by both sides.

a = 18

<em>Thus,</em>

<em>an adult ticket is $18 and a children's ticket is $13.</em>

<em />

<em>Hope this helps :)</em>

Answer:

Adults pay $18 and children pay $13.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

You need to calculate the price of the tickets for adults and children for the group trip to New York.

If X represents adult and Y represents children, then you can express the given information as two equations with two unknown values:

<em>Three adults and four children must pay $106</em>. ⇒ 3X + 4Y= $106

<em>Two adults and three children must pay $75.</em> ⇒ 2X + 3Y= $75

I) First step, in one of the equations you have to clear one of the unknown values, I'll clear the value of Y:

3X + 4Y= 106

4Y= 106 - 3X

Y= \frac{106-3X}{4}

II) Second step you have to replace it in the second equation:

2X + 3Y= 75

2X + 3(\frac{106-3X}{4} )= 75

2X + \frac{3}{4}(106-3X)= 75

2X + (\frac{3}{4}*106 - \frac{3}{4}*3X )= 75

2X + 79.5 -\frac{9}{4}X =75

2X - \frac{9}{4}X= 75 - 79.5

-\frac{1}{4} X= -\frac{9}{2}

X= -\frac{9}{2} * -4= 18

The price for adult tickets is $18.

III) Third step, using the calculated value of X, you replace it on the formula obtained in I) yo calculate the price for the children Y:

Y= \frac{106-3X}{4}= \frac{106-(3*18)}{4} = \frac{27}{2}= 13.5

The ticket price for children is $13.5

I hope this helps!

Sheila has 12 1/2 pounds of potato salad. She wants to divide the potato salad into containers, each of which holds 2 1/4 pounds
NeX [460]

Answer:

6 containers needed

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Total = 12\frac{1}{2}\ lb ----- Size

Container = 2\frac{1}{4}\ lb ----- Size

Required

Determine the number of containers needed

This question illustrates the knowledge of fraction and division.

To get the number of containers needed, we simply divide the total size by the size of the container as follows;

Number = Total/Container

Number = 12\frac{1}{2}/2\frac{1}{4}

Convert to improper fractions

Number = \frac{25}{2}/\frac{9}{4}

Number = \frac{25}{2}*\frac{4}{9}

Number = \frac{100}{18}

Number = 5.5555556

Number = 6 --- Approximated
