Answer:

The town recreation department ordered 66 baseballs and 24 bats.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of baseball be 'x'.

Also Let the number of bats be 'y'.

Given:

Total items bought = 100

Now we can say that;

Total items bought is equal to sum of number of baseball and number of bats.

Framing in equation form we get;

x+y =100 \ \ \ \ equation \ 1

Also Given:

Cost of each baseball = $4.50

Cost of each bat = $20

Total purchase = $822

Now we can say that;

Total Purchase is equal to to sum of number of baseball multiplied by Cost of each baseball and number of bats multiplied by Cost of each bat.

framing in equation form we get;

4.5x+20y =822 \ \ \ \ equation\ 2

Multiplying equation 1 by 4.5 we get;

4.5(x+y) =100\times4.5\\\\4.5x+4.5y = 450 \ \ \ \ equation \ 3

Now Subtracting equation 3 from equation 2 we get;

(4.5x+20y)-(4.5x+4.5y) = 822-450\\\\4.5x+20y-4.5x-4.5y =372\\\\15.5y = 372

Dividing both side by 15.5 we get;

\frac{15.5y}{15.5}= \frac{372}{15.5}\\  \\y =24

Substituting the value of y in equation 1 we get;

x+y =100\\\\x+24 =100\\\\x =100-24 =66

Hence the town recreation department ordered 66 baseballs and 24 bats.

Just replace x with its given value:

9x^{2}-4x-3~~~~\text{where }x=-2\\ \\ \\ 9\cdot (-2)^{2}-4\cdot (-2)-3\\ \\ =9\cdot 4+8-3\\ \\ =36+8-3\\ \\ =41

To raise funds, a school sells raffle tickets to parents and students. The parent tickets cost $6 each and the student tickets c
masya89 [10]

Answer: 312 students purchased a ticket

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of raffle tickets sold to parents.

Let y represent the number of raffle tickets sold to students.

The school sold 371 tickets. This means that

x + y = 371

x = 371 - y

The parent tickets cost $6 each and the student tickets cost $1.50 each and the school raised a total of $822. This means that

6x + 1.5y = 822 - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 371 - y into equation 1, it becomes

6(371 - y) + 1.5y = 822

2226 - 6y + 1.5y = 822

- 6y + 1.5y = 822 - 2226

- 4.5y = - 1404

y = -1404/-4.5

y = 312

x = 371 - y

x = 371 - 312

x = 59
