Answer:
1.) 9
2.) 20
Step-by-step explanation:
1.) 39 is incorrect because they didn't follow the PEMDAS rule.
They subtracted 2 from 15 which is 13, and then they multiplied 13 by 3.
<u>The correct way is to multiply 2 times 3 which is 6, and then subtract 6 from 15 which is 9.</u>

Answer:
6, 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
503 $1 tickets sold.
Step-by-step explanation:
Use two equations
Let x = number of $1 tickets sold
Let y = number of $1.50 tickets sold
x + y = 739
1x + (1.5)y = 857
First equation ==> y = 739 - x
Plug this into the second equation
x + (1.5)(739 - x) = 857
x + 1108.5 - 1.5x = 857
- 0.5x = -251.5
x = 503
There were 503 $1 tickets sold.
To find the number of $1.50 tickets, just plug this value of x into either one of the equations.
(503) + y = 739 (739 - 503 = 236)
y = 236
There were 236 $1.50 tickets sold.
