Earl isn't correct: the number 1,456 represents the total number of tickets sold, rather than simply six times the number of tickets sold.
Let x= the discount ticket price
1456 = 6x + x
1456 = 7x
x = 28
28 discount tickets were sold. The total number of tickets sold is equal to both the number of discount tickets sold plus six times that number: 1,456 = 6x+ x. Solve for x.
Answer:
don't know sorry......................
There are 20 boys in the class. The ratio is 4:3 so that means 4 out of 7 are boys and 3 out of 7 are girls. Divide 35 by 7 and you get 5. 5 times 4 is 20. 5 times 3 is 15. add them together and you have 35 students in total. So 20 students are boys and 15 students are girls.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2 1/2 + x = 5 1/3 Change the mixed numbers to improper fractions
5/2 + x = 16/3 The lowest common multiple is 6. Multiply by 6
5*3 + 6x = 16*2
15 + 6x = 32 Subtract 15 from both sides.
6x = 32 - 15
6x = 17 Divide by 6
6x/6 = 17/6
x = 2 5/6
Check
5/2 + 17/6 = 16/3
15/6 + 17/6 = 32/6
32/6 = 32/6 The question checks.
