Answer:
7 goes into 163 23 times.
Step-by-step explanation:
You can find this answer by dividing 163 and 7 which would lead you to 23, with some remainder.
You can work these in your head if you consider the revenue generated by the least contributor (children's tickets) and the difference in revenue between that and the larger contributor ($2.00 -1.50 = 0.50).
If all were children's tickets, the revenue would be 500*$1.50 = $750.00. The actual revenue exceeded that amount by $862.50 -750.00 = 112.50. This difference in revenue is made up by the sale of $112.50/$0.50 = 225 adult tickets. Then the number of children's tickets is 500 -225 = 275.
225 adult tickets were sold
275 children's tickets were sold.
_____
If you need an equation, you can write an equation using a variable for the number of adult tickets sold (the largest contributor).
.. (500 -a)*1.50 +a*2.00 = 862.50
.. 0.50a = (862.50 -750.00) . . . . . does this look familiar, yet?
.. a = 112.50/0.50 = 225

Answer:
Equations:
y + 10x = 23
y + 15x = 33
cost of basket with 25 apples = $53
Step-by-step explanation:
A basket with 10 apples cost $23 and a basket with 15 apples cost $33. Note that these costs also include the cost of the basket, which is same in both case. Let the cost of empty basket with "y" and cost of each apple be "x"
Cost of basket and 10 apples is $23. We can transform this statement into an equation as:
y + 10x = 23 Equation 1
Similarly,
Cost of basket and 15 apples is $33. This gives us another equation:
y + 15x = 33 Equation 2
Subtracting Equation 1 from Equation 2 , we get:
y + 15x - (y +10x) = 33 - 23
5x = 10
x = 2
Using the value of x in equation 1, we get:
y + 10(2)= 23
y = 23 - 20
y = 3
This means, cost of basket is $3 and cost of each apple is $2.
Now we can calculate the cost of basket with 25 apples, which will be:
Cost of basket + Cost of 25 apples = Total Cost
3 + 25(2) = 3 + 50 = $53
Answer: A scone costs $2.64, and a large coffee costs $1.92.
Explanation: We can write both scenarios as equations, and write it as a system of equations.
“Luis picked up seven scones and four large coffees. He paid $26.16.”
Let’s express the cost of a scone as x.
Let’s express the cost of a large coffee as y.
The first equation would be 7x + 4y = 26.16.
“Rachel picked up six scones and five large coffees. She paid $25.44.”
Let’s express the cost of a scone as x.
Let’s express the cost of a large coffee as y.
The second equation would be 6x + 5y = 25.44.
The systems of equations is:
7x + 4y = 26.16
6x + 5y = 25.44
Let’s take the first equation and solve for x.
7x + 4y = 26.16
7x = 26.16 - 4y
x = (26.16 - 4y)/7
Let’s substitute x in the second equation for (26.16 - 4y)/7, and solve for y.
6((26.16 - 4y)/7) + 5y = 25.44
Distribute the 6 across 26.16 - 4y in the term 6((26.16 - 4y)/7).
(156.96 - 24y)/7 + 5y = 25.44
Rewrite 5y as 35y/7 so it has a common denominator with (156.96 - 24y)/7.
(156.96 - 24y)/7 + 35y/7 = 25.44
Combine like terms.
(156.96 + 11y)/7 = 25.44
Multiply both sides by 7.
156.96 + 11y = 178.08
Subtract 156.96 from both sides.
11y = 21.12
Divide both sides by 11.
y = 1.92
Substitute y into the first equation.
7x + 4(1.92) = 26.16
Simplify 4(1.92).
7x + 7.68 = 26.16
Subtract 7.68 from both sides.
7x = 18.48
Divide both sides by 7.
x = 2.64
Since x = 2.64, we know that the cost of a scone is $2.64.
Since y = 1.92, we know that the cost of a large coffee is $1.92.
Therefore, a scone costs $2.64, and a large coffee costs $1.92.
