Let x represent lower level tickets that cost $77

Let y represent upper level tickets that cost $99

Cost equation: 77x + 99y = 247,071

Tickets equation: x + y = 2615

Using the elimination method, multiply the second equation by -77:

77x + 99y = 247,071

-77x - 77y = -201,355

--> 22y = 45,716

--> y = 2,078

Now plug "y" into either equation and solve for "x". I chose the Tickets equation. x + y = 2615 → x = 2615 - y → x = 2615 - 2078 → x = 537

Answer: lower level = 537 tickets, upper level = 2078 tickets.

Let U = upper

Let L = lower

U + L = 2615

99U + 77L = 247071 You can make your life slightly easier by dividing this equation through by 11

9U + 7L =24461 Multiply the first equation by 7

7U + 7L = 2615 * 7

7U +7L = 18305

====================

Combine the 2 new equations

9U + 7L = 24461

<u>7U + 7L = 18305</u> Subtract

2U = 6156 Divide by 2

U = 6156 / 2

U = 3078

The Number of Upper Level Tickets sold was 3078

How is the answer 35? How do I get it?
vlabodo [156]
I think it's -35. The steps to get that number is subtracting the 3 to the right side. Then you have -2 - 3 which equals to -5. Then you still have x/7= -5. Get rid of 7 from the x and do the same thing to the other side but you multiply 7 and -5. Last you your would be x= -35.

Cole is studying employment trends.
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

225

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know that 20% of the social workers he surveyed was 45 people. The easiest way to find all 100% of the social workers is to do 45 x 5 because 20% x 5 = 100%. So 45 x 5 = 225.

Hope this helped! :)
