We assume all money is spent on new lighting. Since they currently have $160 and need $400 we can subtract what they currently have from what they need.
$400-$160 = $240
Since we know the price of the ticket and now know they need $240 we can divide our $240 with the price of each ticket ($3)
$240/$3 = 80
So the drama club has to sell 80 more tickets in order to afford new lighting
Answer:
$407.50
Step-by-step explanation:
take 9.75 × 17=165.75
take 9.75 × 25=243.75
add 165.75 and 243.75=407.50
turn into dollars $407.50
X^2/(x- 9 = 81/(x - 9)
This is the equation for which you want the solution.
Multiplying both sides of the equation by (x - 9) we get
x^2(x - 9)/(x - 9) = 81(x - 9)/(x - 9)
So the (x - 9) goes out from both the denominator and the numerator and then the simplified equation becomes
x^2 = 81
x ^2 = (9)^2
x = 9
So the value of the unknown variable x comes out to be 9.
You just take the number of the color of interest (green) and divide by total marbles
9/35 = 0.257 ~~ 25.7%
