Answer: the number of adult tickets is 210
The number if student tickets is 270
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of adult tickets that were purchased.
Let y represent the number of student tickets that were purchased.
At the ritz, concert tickets for adults cost $6 and tickets for students cost $4. If the cost of total tickets purchased is $2340, then,
6x + 4y = 2340 - - - - - - - -1
Total number of tickets purchased is 480. This means that
x + y = 480
x = 480 - y
Substituting x = 480 - y into equation 1, it becomes
6(480 - y) + 4y = 2340
2880 - 6y + 4y = 2340
- 6y + 4y = 2340 - 2880
-2y = - 540
y = - 540/-2 = 270
x = 480 - 270
x = 210
Answer:
The bag contains $5.14
Step-by-step explanation:
18% of 50 = (.18)(50) = 9 pennies
40% of 50 = (.40)(50) = 20 dimes
2 more nickels than pennies = 9 + 2 = 11 nickels
40 coins so far, so 50 - 40 = 10 quarters
Total value:
9 x ($0.01) = $0.09 for pennies
20 x ($0.10) = $2.00 for dimes
11 x ($0.05) = $0.55 for nickels
10 x ($0.25) = $2.50 for quarters
Grand total value = $5.14
