Answer:

33 inches tall (see below)

Step-by-step explanation:

You can make a ratio to simplify the situation:

  75 in. tall                 x in. tall

----------------------  =  ---------------------

50 in. shadow       22 in. shadow

Cross multiply:

75 (22) = 50 (x)

1650 = 50x

33 = x

x = 33 in. tall

Janice bought 3 movie tickets and 3 sodas and the total cost was $35.25. A ticket to the movie cost $5.25 more than a soda. How
Effectus [21]

Answer: a ticket to the movie costs $8.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of a movie ticket.

Let y represent the cost of a Soda.

Janice bought 3 movie tickets and 3 sodas and the total cost was $35.25. This means that

3x + 3y = 35.25 - - - - - - - - - -1

A ticket to the movie cost $5.25 more than a soda. This means that

x = y + 5.25

Substituting x = y + 25 into equation 1, it becomes

3(y + 5.25) + 3y = 35.25

3y + 15.75 + 3y = 35.25

6y = 35.25 - 15.75 = 19.5

y = 19.5/6 = 3.25

x = y + 5.25 = 3.25 + 5.25

x = 8.5
