Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Change the 2/3 to 4/6
Now the ratio becomes 3:4:6
So the number of each is
3x + 4x + 6x = 520
13x = 520
x = 40
Red = 3*40 = 120
Yellow = 4*40 = 160
Blue = 6 * 40 = 240
Total = 520
Since they are similar, you need to find the ratio of similarity (I made up the term, there is probably a correct one that I can’t remember).
If you divide 16/40, you’ll find that that ratio is 2.5. So then you just multiply 16 x 2.5. You’ll get 18.
18 is the length of the top of the trapezoid.
You set 18=2x+4 and solve it algebraically. Subtract 4 from both sides.
14=2x
Divide by 2 and x=7
(You can also check that the ratio is right by 16/18 is the same decimal value as 40/45. You’ll get .88888...)
Answer: The answer is $15.86
Step-by-step explanation: You would change 6.10 into a fraction, which is 61/10. Then you would mulitply that and that number as a decimal would be 15.86.
C + a = 140......a = 140 - c
5.3c + 9.4a = 1086.4
5.3c + 9.4(140 - c) = 1086.4
5.3c + 1316 - 9.4c = 1086.4
5.3c - 9.4c = 1086.4 - 1316
-4.1c = - 229.6
c = -229.6 / -4.1
c = 56......so their were 56 child tickets sold
