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!

Magan bought an electric bill at 85% of the regular price she paid $32.89 for the drill what was the regular price
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

$38.69

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the regular price, create a proportion.

\frac{32.89}{x}=\frac{85}{100}

To solve for the regular price x, cross multiply the numerator and denominator of each fraction.

32.89*(100) = x(85)

3289=85x

38.69 = x
