Answer:

177 Students

176 Adults

Step-by-step explanation:

Adult - (A) $5

Student - (S) $3.50

Equation 1: A+S = 353 tickets

Equation 2: 5A + 3.50S = $1500

Sub equation 1 into 2:

5A + 3.50(353 - A) = 1500

Multiply: 5A + 1235.50 -3.50A =1500

Subtract 1235.50 and -3.50A from both sides: 1.50A = 264.50 and then divide:

264.50/1.50 = 176 Adults

Sub into equation 1:

176 +S = 353

Solve: 353 - 176 = 177 Students

Check: 5(176) + 3.50(177) = $1500

1499.5 rounded = 1500 = 1500 ✔

I hope this helped!

Find how many quarts of 6% butterfat milk and 3% butterfat milk should be mixed to yield 60 quarts of 4% butterfat milk.
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

20 quarts of 6% butterfat milk and 40 quarts of 3% butterfat milk is used to make 60 quarts of 4% butterfat milk.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Let x quarts of 6% butterfat milk be used and y quarts of 3% butterfat milk be used to make 60 quarts of 4% butterfat milk.

Thus, we can write the equation:

6\%\times x + 3\%\times y = 4\%\times 60\\6x + 3y = 240

Total amount of 3% butterfat milk = 60

Thus, we can write the equation:

x+y = 60

Solving the two equation, we get,

6x + 3y-(3x+3y) = 240 - 3(60)\\3x = 240-180\\3x = 60\\x = 20\\y = 60-20 = 40

Thus, 20 quarts of 6% butterfat milk and 40 quarts of 3% butterfat milk is used to make 60 quarts of 4% butterfat milk.

Mr. Mandel gave his class 12 minutes to read. 5 1/2 pages in that time. At what rate, in pages per hour, did Claire read?
Eva8 [605]
5 1/2 pages in 12 minutes.
11/2 pages in 12 minutes 

How many pages in an hour?
well, an hour has 60 minutes

Let's write a proportion
11/2 / 12 = x/60
cross multiply
(11/2 * 60) = 12x
330 = 12x
divide both sides by 12
27.5 or 27 1/2 = x

27.5 pages per hour.

Hope this helps
