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!

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the exponent rule

Simplifying the top of the fraction

5^2*5*5^3=5^2+1+3=5^6

Simplifying the bottom of the fraction 5^4*5=5^4+1=5^5

Our simplified fraction is 5^6/5^5, which is just 5^6-5 which is 5^1 or 5.

Therefore, the answer is 5.

Simplify the expression. (3.14×107)×(1.3×10−3)÷0.2<br> Scientific notation PLS!
marusya05 [52]

3.14 \times 107 = 335.98
(335.98) \times (1.3 \times 10 - 3) \div 0.2
1.3 \times 10 = 13 - 3 = 10
(335.98) \times (10) \div 0.2
335.98 \times 10 = 3359.8
3359.8  \div 0.2 = 16799
1.6799 \times  {10}^{4}

How do you simplify a fraction?
attashe74 [19]
You simplify a fraction by finding it's greatest common factor. A greatest common factor is what both numbers are divisible by. If they can both be divided by two, then you've simplified them a little bit. Keep going until you can't find a common number that can be divided by the two, and you've got your simplified fraction. For example, 10/5 = 1/2 since both 10 and 5 is divisible by 5.

Camacho is buying a monster truck. The price of the truck

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let the price of the monster truck be 'a'

He should pay 13% tax

Total cost = price of the truck + tax

Total cost = a + (13a/100)

The equation to represent the total cost is

Total cost= a + (13a/100)

1.6x=1.28<br> help me solve this
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Sure! So, we need to divide by 1.6 on each side to isolate the x.

1.6x / 1.6 is just x. We need to divide by the same on the other side too!

1.28 / 1.6 is 0.8.

So x = 0.8
