X+y= 26 and 4.75x + 2.25y= 83.50
y=26-x( substitute this into second equation for y and solve for x)
4.75x + 2.25(26-x)= 83.50
4.75x + 58.5-2.25x= 83.50
x= 10
Now solve for y by substituting your answer for x
10+ y= 26
y=16
Therefore, 16 tickets were purchased for kids and 10 for adults.
Answer:
number of dimes 11 to 14
Step-by-step explanation:
given data
coin = 19
worth no less = $1.30
Nolan nickles = 5
solution
we convert 5 cent to dollars, it will be
5÷100 = $0.05
and
dime is worth 10 cents
so it will be 10 ÷ 100 = $0.1
so we consider here x as the number when nickels.
and we consider y as the number of dimes.
so here we can say
x + y ≤ 19 ..........................1
as here no less than $1.30 combined.
so
0.05 x + 0.1 y ≥ 1.3 ......................2
and
when Nolan has 5 nickels
put x = 5 in eq 1
5 + y ≤ 19
y ≤ 19 - 5
y ≤ 14
and
now we put x = 5 in eq 2
0.05 × 5 + 0.1y ≥ 1.3
0.25 + 0.1y ≥ 1.3
0.1y ≥ 1.3 - 0.25
0.1y ≥ 1.05
y ≥ 10.5
so all possible values for the number of dimes 11 to 14
