First we need to know 75% of 88.
To find this number we multiply 88 by 0.75.
Hence, 0.75 * 88 = 66

Therefore, 60% of a certain number equals 66.
Then 1% of that certain number equals 66 / 60
Finally, to find our number (which equals 100%) we multiply by 100.
So 66 / 60 * 100 = 110.

Hence, 75 percent of 88 is the same as 60 percent of 110.

One possible answer would be they sold 80 student tickets and 30 adult tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

set up two inequalities, one to show number of tickets that can be sold, and the other is how much money they need to make

5x+10y G than or = 700

x+y L than or = 110

The first inequality shows that each student (x) ticket sells for $5, and each adult (y) ticket sells for $10, and the amound has to be greater or equal to 700.

The second inequality shows that both student and adult tickets sold have to be less than or equal to 110.

First find either x or y, in this case finding y was easier

y is g than or = to 30

This means that they sold at least 30 adult tickets= $300

With y, plug into the inequality x+y L than or = to 110 to find x

x is less than or = to 80

This means that they sold at most 80 student tickets = $400

Hope this helps!

Which shows the expression below simplified? 0.00048 - (3.4 × 10-5) A. 4.46 × 10-4 B. 3.39952 × 10-5 C. 4.46 × 10-5 D. 1.4 × 10-

Option C

The simplified form of given expression is $4.46 \times 10^{-4}$

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that we have to simplify the expression shown below

$0.00048 - (3.4 \times 10^{-5})$

Let us first convert 0.00048 to scientific notation

<em><u>Steps to follow:</u></em>

Move the decimal point in your number until there is only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. The resulting decimal number is a.

Count how many places you moved the decimal point. This number is b.

If you moved the decimal to the left b is positive.

If you moved the decimal to the right b is negative.

If you did not need to move the decimal b = 0.

Write your scientific notation number as a x 10^b and read it as "a times 10 to the power of b."

Remove trailing 0's only if they were originally to the left of the decimal point.

$0.00048 = 4.8 \times 10^{-4}$

So the given expression becomes,

$\rightarrow 4.8 \times 10^{-4} - 3.4 \times 10^{-5}$

Let us make the exponent of second term as -4

$\rightarrow 4.8 \times 10^{-4} - 0.34 \times 10^{-4}$

Take $10^{-4}$ as common term,

$\rightarrow 10^{-4} (4.8 - 0.34)$

$\rightarrow 4.46 \times 10^{-4}$

Thus option C is correct
