At the zoo,there were 3times as many monkeys as lions.Tom counted a total of 24 monkeys and lions.How many monkeys were there?

2 answers:

7 0

To find the answer,we can set an equation:

Let y be the number of lions.

Multiply y by 3 would be the number of monkeys:

$3y = 24 \\ y = \frac{24}{3} \\ y = 8$

Alternative method:

24÷3
=8

Therefore,there are 8 monkeys.

Hope it helps!

I theater sells tickets for a concert. Tickets for lower-level seats sell for $35 each and tickets for upper-level seats sell fo

lora16 [44]

Let X= the number of tickets sold at $35 each

Let 350 -X = the number of tickets sold at $25 each

The number of tickets sold for each type will be computed as follows:

X(35)+(350-X)25=10250

35X+8750-25X=10250

10X=10250-8750

X=1500/10

X=150 the number of tickets sold at $35 each

350-150 the number of tickets sold at $25 each

To recheck:

150(35)+200(25)

5250+5000

10250
