Answer:

45 DOLLARS

Step-by-step explanation:

For these kind of problems, write an equation to figure out the answer.

55 + 2x = 145

x represents the bag cost

145 is the shoe cost

Take out the constant, which is 55, from both sides. A constant is a useful term you should learn.

The result is: 2x = 90

Divide 2x by 2, to get x, which is the bag cost, by itself.

Result: x= 45

Since x is the bag cost, the bag costs 45 dollars

Answer: The number of the adult tickets is 168

Step-by-step explanation: * Lets explain how to solve the problem

- The adults ticket costs $10.50

- The students ticket costs $3.75

- The total money of the opening night is $2071.50

- The equation of the total money earned in the opening night is:

10.50 a + 3.75 b = 2071.50, where a is the number of the adult ticket

and b is the number of the student ticket

- There were 82 students attended

* Lets solve the problem

∵ 10.50 a + 3.75 b = 2071.50

∵ The number of the students attended is 82

∵ b is the number of the students

∴ b = 82

- Substitute the value of b in the equation

∴ 10.50 a + 3.75(82) = 2071.50

∴ 10.50 a + 307.5 = 2071.50

- Subtract 307.5 from both sides

∴ 10.50 a = 1764

- Divide both sides by 10.50

∴ a = 168

∵ a is the number of the adult tickets

∴ The number of the adult tickets is 168

In ¾ pound of a banana bread, there is ½ cup of cinnamon. How much cinnamon does the bread contain per pound?

Shkiper50 [21]

1 pound of bread contains $\frac{2}{3}$ cups of cinnamon.

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that , In $\frac{3}{4}$ pound of a banana bread, there is $\frac{1}{2}$ cup of cinnamon

Amount of cinnamon per pound in bread

Let "n" be the cinnamon per pound present in bread

$\frac{3}{4}$ pound of banana bread ⇒ $\frac{1}{2}$ cup of cinnamon

Then, 1 pound of bread ⇒ n cups of cinnamon

Now, let us use criss cross method (i.e. multiplying the diagonal ordered terms and equating them)

$\begin{array}{l}{\rightarrow n \times \frac{3}{4}=\frac{1}{2} \times 1} \\\\ {\rightarrow n \times \frac{3}{4}=\frac{1}{2}} \\\\ {\rightarrow n=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{4}{3}} \\\\ {\rightarrow n=\frac{2}{3}}\end{array}$

Hence, 1 pound of bread contains $\frac{2}{3}$ cups of cinnamon.
