a = amount of advance tickets sold

s = amount of same-day tickets sold

we know that for that performance 55 were sold in all, thus a + s = 55.

and since we know each a costs 35, then the whole amount sold was 35a, and for all s sold it was then likewise 30a.

the total amount paid for all 55 that day was 1775, thus 35a + 30a = 1775.

\bf \begin{cases} a+s=55\implies \boxed{s}=55-a\\ 35a+30s=1775\\ -------------\\ 35a+30\left( \boxed{55-a} \right)=1775 \end{cases} \\\\\\ 35a+1650-30a=1775\implies 5a=125 \\\\\\ a=\cfrac{125}{5}\implies a=25

how many s were sold? well s = 55 - a.

Answer:

18/6=324/6=418/24=3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

if you multiply 2 times something you can’t get anything 11. the closest denominator is 5 and 5x2=10 so you have one left to get 11 so the answer is =5with 1$ still left. maria can buy 5 fish but she will have 1$ left over.

If a new college graduate wants a car costing $21,000, how much must be saved annually over the next four years if the funds ear
fgiga [73]
I'm assuming the funds earn 5% yearly?

Call x the amount he saves every year.  The first year's deposit will be multiplied by 1.05 three times, the next will be multiplied by 1.05 twice, the third will be multiplied by 1.05 once, and the fourth will not generate interest (as it will immediately be used to buy the car).

Therefore, x(1.05^3+1.05^2+1.05+1)=21000, so 4.31x=21000.  Dividing by 4.31, we see that x is approximately equal to 4872.

4 3/4 X 4 1/7 what is it please help
Y_Kistochka [10]

first you turn the fractions into inproper fractions by multiplying the whole number by the denomonator and adding the numerator

4×4=16

16+3=19

19/4

4×7=28

28+1=29

29/7

keep the denomonators the same. now that you've converted them into inproper fractions you can multiply them

19/4 × 29/7=551/28

there is no way to simplify this answer so this is the final answer

How to solve 3(x+1)=5(x-2)+7
igor_vitrenko [27]
So first do 3(x+1) which is 3x+3 because you have to multiply the outside number by the stuff in side the parentheses. Then you do the 5(x-2)+7 and it should be 5x-10+7 so now your equation should be 3x+3=5x-10+7 now subtract the 3x from the 5x and now your equation should look like this: 3=2x-10+7. Then you add the 10 and the 7 so now your equation should look like this: 3=2x-3 because it's a -10 and a positive 7 it would be -3. So then you have to add the -3( which now becomes positive to the other 3 in front of the = sign. So now your equation should look like this: 6=2x. Now divide by 2 to get x by its self and now your answer should be 3=x or x=3.
