X+0.0825x=216.5
1.0825x=216.5
x=216.5 / 1.0825
x=200
Answer: C.) x=200
Answer:
33.65
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the amount of grapes that can be bought for 0.40.
Note: By 90 I assume you mean 90 cents. The same for 40.
12/x = 0.90/0.40
0.90x = 12(0.40)
0.90x = 4.80
x = 4.80 ÷ 0.90
x = 5.33333
We can round the decimal to the ones place to get 5 grapes.
Let x = # of tickets sold in advance
Let y = # of tickets sold the day of
Cost of the tickets & total sales: 6x & 10y = 6828
You also know y = x + 206
Take the equation mentioned above y = x + 206 and sub it in anywhere the variable y is in the other equations so you'll have this:
6x + 10(x+206) = 6828
Now solve for x to get x = 298
To finish the problem, you must now find the number of y tickets sold.
Sub your x value that you found back into the equation y = x + 206 and you'll get y = 504.
So, 298 tickets were sold in advance and 504 tickets were sold the day of
