Answer:
Y=75x
Step-by-step explanation:
If you plug in the x's to the equation, it fits because 2 x 75 is 150, and that's the point.
Let x be the unknown amount of child tickets
Let 450 - x be the unknown amount of adult tickets (This is because the total amount subtracted from the child tickets can only be the adult tickets since there are no other tickets)
2x+5(450-x)=1800
(2x because each child ticket cost $2 and same for the adult tickets. Each adult ticket cost $5. So, the sum must be 1800.)
Simplify the equation.
2x+5(450-x)=1800 *Distribute*
2x+2250-5x=1800 *Combine like terms. (2-5=-3)*
-3x + 2250 = 1800 *Move constants and variables to opposite sides*
-2250 -2250
---------------------------
-3x=-450 *Divide by 3 to isolate the variable*
---- ------
-3 -3
x=150
So, there are 150 child tickets. To find adult tickets, just subtract children tickets from the amount of tickets bought (450-150) to get 300 adult tickets sold.
77 out of 100 = 77/100 = 77% correct
100-77 = 23 incorrect
= 23% = 23/100
Let's use ratio and proportion or rates to solve thisIf there is 5/6 cup of cinnamon in a 3/4 pound of spice mix, how many are in a pound?5/6=3/4 ?=11/ (3/4)*5/6=11/9Therefore there are 10/9 cups of cinnamon in 1.111... or 11/9 pounds of spice mix.
9 yards would be a good estimate for the distance across the pond.
