The answer is rounded to the nearest tenth.
System of Equations
For the problem to solve we'll use the following variables:
x = number of the early bird tickets sold
y = number of the regular tickets sold
Haley sold a total of 20 tickets, thus:
x + y = 20 [1]
Early bird tickets cost $10 and regular tickets cost $15, thus the total money collected is:
10x + 15y = 225
Dividing by 5:
2x + 3y = 45 [2]
We have to solve the system of equations [1] and [2].
Multiply [1] by -2:
-2x - 2y = -40 [3]
Add [3] to [2]:
-2x - 2y +2x + 3y = -40 + 45
Simplifying:
y = 5
Substituting in [1]:
x + 5 = 20
Subtracting 5:
x = 20 - 5
x = 15
Solution: Hayley sold 15 early bird tickets and 5 regular-priced tickets
The order pair solution is (15,5)
Well, the first thing you would do is find like denominators for each fraction.
Since the smallest common term between the two is 40, that will be your denominator for each. Then you would multiply the numerator by the number your denominator was multiplied to get to 40. So, you would end up with 16/40 because 5*8=40 and 2*8=16 and 5/40 because 8*5=40 and 1*5=5.
After that, you would just subtract them.
16/40 - 5/40 = 11/40 and as a decimal that is 0.275. So, Joe has eaten 0.275 more pizza than Jane.
Hope this helps! :)

Answer:
a. Given a number of tablespoons, find the number of cups:
1. Since he needs 2 cups, he can use 2×16=32 tablespoons.
2.Since he needs 1/2 cup, he can use 1/2×16=8 tablespoons.
He needs 1 1/4 cups. 1 cup is 16 tablespoons. 1/4 cup is 1/4×16=4 tablespoons. So altogether he needs 16+4=20 tablespoons.Given a number of cups, find the number of tablespoons:
I already found that 20 tablespoons is 1 1/4 cups. So for 28 tablespoons I need an additional 8 tablespoons, or an additional 1/2 cup. 1 1/4+1/2=1 3/4, so 28 tablespoons gets him 1 3/4 cups. (Alternatively, we might say that 1 tablespoon is 1/16 cups. 1/16×28=28/16, which we can rewrite as 1 12/16 or 1 3/4.)
I notice that to convert from tablespoons to cups, I always divide by 16. 6÷16=6/16, which we can write as 1 3/8. (Alternatively, 1 tablespoon is 1/16 cups. 1/16×6=6/16, which we can rewrite as 1 3/8.)
