Answer:

Sarah bought 7 coach tickets and 4 first class tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information provided, you can write the following equations:

x+y=11 (1)

240x+1100y=6080 (2), where:

x is the number of coach tickets

y is the number of first class tickets

In order to find the value of x and y, first you have to solve for x in (1):

x=11-y (3)

Now, you have to replace (3) in (2) and solve for y:

240(11-y)+1100y=6080

2640-240y+1100y=6080

860y=6080-2640

860y=3440

y=3440/860

y=4

Finally, you can replace the value of y in (3) to find the value of x:

x=11-y

x=11-4

x=7

According to this, the answer is that Sarah bought 7 coach tickets and 4 first class tickets.

mary has 39 square feet of patio bricks. each square brick has sides 1 foot long. what is the greatest perimeter of a rectangle
bearhunter [10]

-- The smallest perimeter you can make with a certain area
is a circle.

-- The NEXT smallest perimeter with the same area is a square.

   With 1-ft by 1-ft square bricks, the shortest perimeter she could
make would be by using her bricks to make it as square as possible. 
Without cutting bricks into pieces, the best she could do would be  

                           (13 bricks) x (3 bricks) .

                            =    (13-ft) x (3-ft)

           Perimeter = (2 x length) + (2 x width)

                             = (2 x 13-ft)  +  (2 x 3-ft) 
                           
                             =      (26-ft)  +  (6-ft)  =  32 feet  <== shortest perimeter.

-- Then, the more UNSQUARE you make it, the more perimeter
it takes to enclose the same area.  That means Mary has to make
a rectangle as long and skinny as she can.

The longest perimeter she can make (without cutting bricks into
pieces) is    (39 bricks) x (1 brick) .

                        = (39-ft)  x  (1-ft) .

    Perimeter  =  (2 x length) + (2 x width)

                       =   (2 x 39-ft)  +  (2 x 1-ft)

                       =        (78-ft)  +  (2-ft)     =     80 feet .    

What she'll have then is a brick path, 39 feet long and 1 foot wide,
and when you walk on it, you'll need to try hard to avoid falling off
because it's only 1 foot wide.
