Answer:
Each of the inches was reduced by 3 in.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is the answer because if you divide the 24 by 3 you will get 8 and the same thing occurs if you divide the 36 by 3 and you will get 12
Answer:
The markdown price is $32
Step-by-step explanation:
•Divide 40 by 100 to get what 1% equals
•Multiply that value (0.4) by 20
•Subtract that value from the original
-
40/100=0.4
0.4×20=8
40-8=32

Answer:
6 Chickens
Step-by-step explanation:
Let H represent the number of horses and C represent the number of chickens. Since there are 32 legs altogether this means that on equation to use would be given by:
2C + 4 H = 32 (Eq. 1)
Another equation can be made from the fact that there are 11 heads or 11 animals altogether which can be written as:
C + H = 11 (Eq. 2)
From Eq. 2, solve for the number of chickens:
C + H = 11
C = 11 - H (Eq. 3)
Substituting Eq. 3 in Eq. 1, the number of horses can be determined:
2 C + 4 H = 32
2 ( 11 − H ) + 4 H = 32
22 − 2 H + 4 H = 32
2H = 32 − 22
2 H = 10
H = 5 Eq.4
Putting Eq.4 in Eq.1
2C + 4*5 = 32
2C = 32 - 20
2C = 12
C = 12/2
C = 6
Answer:
Adult tickets sold: 156
Step-by-step explanation:
Adult ticket: x
Student ticket: y
x + y = 260 ===> -6(x + y = 260) ===> -6x -6y = -1560
6x + 4.5y = 1404 ===> 6x + 4.5y = 1404
________________
add the two equations to eliminate a variable: -1.5y = -156
divide by -1.5: y = 104
substitution to find x:
x + y = 260
x + 104 = 260
x = 156
