Mathematics

Vesnalui [34]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

 x/y = 3/5

=> x = (3/5)y   (1)

(x + 8)/(y + 8) = 2/3

=> 3*(x + 8) = 2*(y + 8)

=> 3x + 24 = 2y + 16

=> 3x - 2y = -8   (2)

From (1) and (2), we have:

=> 3*(3/5)y - 2y = -8

=> (-1/5)y = -8

=> y = 40

=> x = (3/5)*y = (3/5)*40 = 24

=> Solution: x = 24, y = 40

Hope this helps!

The ballpark made a total of $15,000 from ticket sales at Wednesday's game. The ballpark charges $20 for each adult ticket and $
kvasek [131]
Assume that the number of adult tickets is a and the number of child tickets is c.

We are given that the adult ticket is sold for 20$, the child ticket is sold for 10$ and that the total is $15,000. This means that:
20a + 10c = 15,000 ..........> equation I

We are also given that number of child tickets is 3 times that of adult's. This means that:
c = 3a .........> equation II

Substitute with equation II in equation I to get a as follows:
20a + 10c = 15,000
20a + 10(3a) = 15,000
20a + 30a = 15,000
50a = 15,000
a = 300 tickets

Substitute with the value of a in equation II to get c as follows:
c = 3a
c = 3(300)
c = 900 tickets

Based on the above calculations,
number of child tickets = 900 ticket
number of adult tickets = 300 ticket
