Let student tickets be s and adult tickets be a.  The number of tickets sold of both adult and student then is s + a = 396.  If each student ticket costs $3, then we represent the money equation by tacking the dollar amount onto the ticket.  3s is the cost of one student ticket.  4a is the cost of an adult ticket.  The total money from the sales of both is 4a + 3s = 1385.  We now have a system of equations we can solve for a and s.  If s+a=396, then s = 396-a.  We will sub that into the second equation to get 4a + 3(396-a) = 1385.  Distributing we have 4a+1188-3a=1385.  a = 197.  That means there were 197 adult tickets sold.  If s + a = 396, then s + 197 = 396 and s = 199.  197 adult tickets and 199 student tickets.  There you go!

The surface area of a typical classroom floor is closest to______.
avanturin [10]
Answer would be C. Why A would be incorrect: 100m^2 is 100m × 100 m. That would be as big as a football field. Why B would be incorrect: 1cm^2 is 1cm × 1cm. You can use a regular 15 cm to measure a piece of paper with the length of 1cm each side. Why C would be correct: 1m^2 = 1m × 1m and it is also equals to 60cm × 60 cm. A 1 meter ruler = 60 cm = 4 times of your average 15 cm ruler. So, it is reasonable that a classroom is 10m by 10m in length and breadth. Why D would be incorrect: The same explanation applies to here as well. Things that can be measured with 1m × 1m is a square table so your classroom can't be that small to fit an average of 30 to 40 students in there. I hope my explanations were detailed and easy to understand. :)
