Answer:

108 student tickets, and 176 adult tickets  were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

Adult ticket $8  Call the number of adult tickets sold "a"

Student ticket $5  Call the number of student tickets sold "s"

Since we are talking about TWO consecutive days of sold out seats, the total number of seats sold were 2* 142 = 284

Then we create two different equations with the information given:

a + s = 284

8 * a + 5 * s = 1948

we can solve for s in the first equation as follows: s = 284 - a

and use it in the second equation

8 a + 5 (284 - a) = 1948

8 a + 1420 - 5 a = 1948

combining

3 a = 528

a = 528/3

a = 176

we find the number of student tickets using this answer in the substitution equation we used:

s - 284 - 176 = 108

Therefore 108 student tickets, and 176 adult tickets were sold.

Write 0.6 as a fraction ?
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

6/10 ; 3/5 (simplified form)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, note the decimal place value. Move the decimal point to the right two place values, and set it over 100

0.6 = 60/100

Simplify the fraction. Divide common factors from the numerator & denominator (20 in this case)

(60/100)/(20/20) = 3/5

3/5 is your answer

recipe for two dozen cookies calls for 234cups of sugar. How much sugar is needed to make one dozen cookies? A 38cupsover33, cup
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

117 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

two dozen cookies calls for 234cups of sugar

2 dozen cookies = 234 cups of sugar

How much sugar is needed to make one dozen cookies?

Let x = cups of sugar needed

1 dozen cookies = x cups of sugar

2 dozen cookies : 234 cups of sugar = 1 dozen cookies : x cups of sugar

2 : 234 = 1 : x

2 / 234 = 1 / x

Cross product

2*x = 234 * 1

2x = 234

x = 234 / 2

= 117 cups

Your options are wrong because none corresponds with the answer
