When finding the reciprocal, we essentially just "flip" or take the inverse of the number we are given. For example, the reciprocal of 1/2 would be 2/1 or 2. The given number multiplied by the reciprocal should always equal 1. If it does, then we know we are correct.

In this case, we are finding the reciprocal of 5/6, so we "flip" the numerator and the denominator to get 6/5.

To check our work, we need to multiply our original number and its reciprocal.

5/6 x 6/5 = 30/30 = 1

Now, we know we are correct, that the reciprocal of 5/6 is 6/5.

For a particular event, 771 tickets were sold for a total of $3037. If students paid $3 per ticket and non-students paid $5

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

Number of student tickets were sold = 409

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of tickets sold = 771

I.e Students ticket (S) + Non students ticket(N S) = 771

Total amount to be paid for tickets = $ 3037

Amount paid by students per tickets = $3

Amount paid by non-students per tickets = $5

So, according to question

S + NS = 771

3 S + 5 NS = 3037

Solve both equations

5 S + 5 NS = 771 × 5

3 S + 5 NS = 3037

so ,

(5 S + 5 NS) - (3 S + 5 NS ) = 3855 - 3037

Or, 2 S = 818

I.e S = $\frac{818}{2}$ = 409

Hence, The number of student tickets were sold = 409 Answer
