Answer: 47.875
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide :)
Let the perimeter be x.
3x = 75 - 2x
Add 2x from both sides:
5x = 75
Divide both sides by 5:
x = 15
Answer: The perimeter is 15 units.
Answer: 400 adult tickets were sold.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the adult tickets that were sold.
Let y represent the number of children tickets that were sold.
1000 tickets were sold to the seaport aquariums dolphin show. This means that
x + y = 1000
Adult tickets cost $10. Children tickets cost two dollars and a total of 5200 was collected. This means that
10x + 2y = 5200 - - - - - - - -1
Substituting x = 1000 - y into equation 1, it becomes
10(1000 - y) + 2y = 5200
10000 - 10y + 2y = 5200
- 10y + 2y = 5200 - 10000
- 8y = - 4800
y = - 4800/ - 8
y = 600
x = 1000 - y = 1000 - 600
x = 400
So first you would multiply $6.50 by 4.5 and you get 29.25, so that represents how much she would make in one day! Then multiply 5 days a week by 6 weeks and you get 30 then multiply $29.25 by 30 to get the total!
