Answer:

The price of one senior citizen ticket is $8, and the price of one child ticket is $11.

Step-by-step explanation:

You are looking for two things: the price of a senior citizen ticket and the price of a child ticket.

We need to write two equations using two variables.

Let s = price of 1 senior citizen ticket.

Let c = price of 1 child ticket.

First day of ticket sales:

6 senior citizen tickets, 8 child tickets, total sales of $136

Since s is the price of a senior citizen ticket, 6 tickets cost 6s.

Since c is the price of a child ticket, 8 tickets cost 8c.

The total sales is 6s + 8c.

The total sales is $136, so our first equation is

6s + 8c = 136

Now we do the same for the second day of ticket sales.

6 senior citizen tickets, 9 child tickets, total sales of $147.

Since s is the price of a senior citizen ticket, 6 tickets cost 6s.

Since c is the price of a child ticket, 9 tickets cost 9c.

The total sales is 6s + 9c.

The total sales is $147, so our second equation is

6s + 9c = 147

The system of equations is

6s + 8c = 136

6s + 9c = 147

Multiply both sides of the first equation by -1. Write the second equation below it. Then add the equations.

-6s - 8c = -136

(+) 6s + 9c = 147

----------------------------

c = 11

c = 11, so the cost of a child ticket is $11.

Now substitute 11 for c in the first equation, and solve for s.

6s + 8c = 136

6s + 8(11) = 136

6s + 88 = 136

6s = 48

s = 8

The price of a senior citizen ticket is $8.

The price of a senior citizen ticket is $8, and the price of a child ticket is $11.

Its 2 8/15 Conversion a mixed number 1 2
5
to a improper fraction: 1 2/5 = 1 2
5
= 1 · 5 + 2
5
= 5 + 2
5
= 7
5

To find new numerator:
a) Multiply the whole number 1 by the denominator 5. Whole number 1 equally 1 * 5
5
= 5
5

b) Add the answer from previous step 5 to the numerator 2. New numerator is 5 + 2 = 7
c) Write previous answer (new numerator 7) over the denominator 5.

One and two fifths is seven fifths
Conversion a mixed number -1 2
15
to a improper fraction: -1 2/15 = -1 2
15
= -1 · 15 + (-2)
15
= -15 + (-2)
15
= -17

To find new numerator:
a) Multiply the whole number -1 by the denominator 15. Whole number -1 equally -1 * 15
15
= -15
15

b) Add the answer from previous step -15 to the numerator 2. New numerator is -15 + 2 = -13
c) Write previous answer (new numerator -13) over the denominator 15.

Minus one and two fifteenths is minus thirteen fifteenth
Subtract: 7

15
= 38
15

The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of the both denominators - LCM(5, 15) = 15. The fraction result cannot be further simplified by cancelling.
In words - seven fifths minus minus seventeen fifteenth = thirty-eight fifteenths.

the width of the morros in shannon's bathroom is 4/9 its length. The area of the mirror is 576 square inches. What are the dimen

fredd [130]

W=4L/9

A=LW, using W found above gives us

A=L(4L/9)

A=4L^2/9 and we were told that A=576 so

4L^2/9=576 multiply both sides by 9

4L^2=5184 divide both sides by 4

L^2=1296 take the square root of both sides

L=36, and we know that W=4L/9 so

W=4(36/9)=16

So the dimensions are: width=16in and length=36in
