The number ... n
one quarter of the number ... 1/4 of n = 1/4 * n
one third of the number ... 1/3 of n = 1/3 * n
one quarter of the number is subtracted from one third of the number ... 1/3 * n - 1/4 * n
the result is 7 ... = 7
We can put it together:
1/3 * n - 1/4 * n = 7
4/12 * n - 3/12 * n = 7
1/12 * n = 7 /*12
n = 7 * 12
n = 84
The number you are looking for is 84.

Answer:
The sum of the money shared is $1372
Step-by-step explanation:
The given ratio is
Albert:Michael:Moses=3:5:6
The total ratio is 3+5+6=14
Let the sum of money shared be $x.
Then Albert's share = 3/14 x
= 3
/ 14
Michal's Share = 5x/14
If Michael received $196 more than Albert, then the difference between their share is the $196.
Answer: 96 adult tickets were sold.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of adult tickets that were sold.
Let y represent the number of students tickets that were sold.
For the last basketball game, 381 tickets were sold. This means that
x + y = 381
Adult tickets sold for $7, and student tickets sold for $3. If the ticket sales totaled 1,527, it means that
7x + 3y = 1527 - - - - - - - - - - - -1
Substituting x = 381 - y into equation 1, it becomes
7(381 - y) + 3y = 1527
2667 - 7y + 3y = 1527
- 7y + 3y = 1527 - 2667
- 4y = - 1140
y = - 1140/- 4
y = 285
x = 381 - y = 381 - 285
x = 96
