35a + 25c = 2660
a = 2c
35(2c) + 25c = 2660
70c + 25c = 2660
95c = 2660
c = 2660/95
c = 28 <=== there were 28 children tickets
a = 2c
a = 2(28)
a = 56 <== there were 56 adult tickets
Multiplication was invented to help you avoid the tedium of adding ...
... $5.25 + 5.25 + 5.25 + ... + 5.25 . . . . . a total of 207 terms
It lets us figure such a sum by computing 207 × $5.25 = $1,086.75
Carl's pay for the week will be $1086.75.
The ratio of the height (h) of the streetlight to its distance to the end of Laura's shadow is the same as the ratio of Laura's height to her distance from the end of her shadow.
.. h/(12+9) = 5'4"/9
.. h = (21/9)*5'4" = 12 4/9 feet
.. h = 12 ft 5 1/3 inches
The streetlight is 12 ft 5 1/3 inches tall.

Thus, you will multiply the original (220) by .6 (this means 60 percent)
and you will get 220*.6=132
