Answer:

x = price of adult tickets = $7

y = price of students tickets = $6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = price of adult tickets

y = price of students tickets

7x + 7y = 91 (1)

14x + 12y = 170 (2)

Multiply (1) by 2 to

14x + 14y = 182 (3)

14x + 12y = 170 (2)

Subtract (2) from (3) to eliminate x

14y - 12y = 182 - 170

2y = 12

y = 12/2

y = 6

Substitute y = 6 into (1)

7x + 7y = 91 (1)

7x + 7(6) = 91

7x + 42 = 91

7x = 91 - 42

7x = 49

x = 49/7

x = 7

x = price of adult tickets = $7

y = price of students tickets = $6

five percent of a batch of fuel was found faullty if 27 fuses were faulty how many were inspected the price of internet service
LenKa [72]

There are 540 fuses in total and the original price of the internet is $55.91

<h3>How to work with percentages?</h3>

a) We know that 5% of the fuses are faulty, and there are 27 faulty fusses, then we can write:

5% = 27

100% = x

We want to find x, to do that, we can write:

x = 27*(100%/5%) = 27*20 = 540

There are 540 fuses in total.

b) Now we know that the original price is P, and when we decrease it by 7%, then new price is $52.00

Then we can write:

$52.00 = P*(1 - 7%/100%)

$52.00 = P*(0.93)

$52.00/0.93 = P = $55.91

The original price is $55.91

Add the negatives.<br><br><br><br> +4 - 3 - 4 + 2 - 1<br><br> I just dont get it
vfiekz [6]

Answer: -2

Step-by-step explanation:

since there are no multiplication you can simply go from left to right doing simple math. You start from a +4 that would be a positive 4, you subtract -3 so you get +1 then you subtract -4 and the result is -3 (negative 3) so now you are currently working with numbers lower than 0, adding +2 will make it -1 and finally you subtract for -1 and that will make it -2. Hope it's what u needed
