95 + x = 73
95 + -22 = 73
x= -22
The answer is -22.
Remember you said the scale shows you 10% heavier.
So that's an increase of 10%
So value = 10% + 100% = 110%
So scale would show 110% of 82
110% of 82
= (110/100) * 82
= 1.1 * 82
= 90.2
OR
We can simply find 10% of 82 and add it to the original 82.
10% of 82
(10/100) * 82
0.1 * 82 = 8.2
8.2 + 82 = 90.2 Same answer as before.
So scale shows 90.2 kg.
Answer:
42 child and 70 adult
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a = number of adult tickets
c = number of child tickets
a+c = 112
2.25a + 1.75c = 231
Solve the first equation for a
a = 112-c
Substitute this into the second equation
2.25(112-c) + 1.75c = 231
Distribute
252 - 2.25c +1.75c = 231
Combine like terms
252 -.5c = 231
Subtract 252 from each side
252-252 -.5c = 231-252
-.5c = -21
Divide each side by -.5
-.5c/-.5 = -21/ -.5
c = 42
Now can find a
a = 112-c
a = 112-42
a = 70
