Answer:
0.875
Step-by-step explanation:
7/8 as a decimal is 0.875. Another was of thinking of this is the number '7' is 87.5 percent of the number '8.
All we have to do here is divide how much she paid ($1.15) by how many pounds of dried fruit she bought (2.5 pounds)
1.15 ÷ 2.5 = 0.46
Therefore each pound costs $0.46

10 + 8 + 0.6 + 0.04 = 18.64
With this information we can set up 2 equations:
x + y = 312 (# of tickets sold for adults + # of tickets sold to adults = 312)
12x + 5y = 2204 ( # of tickets sold for adults times $12 + # of tickets sold to adults times $5 = $2204)
Where x is how many tickets were sold to adults and y how many tickets were sold to children
Now we can solve this system of equations by substitution:
isolate y in the first equation to find its value and plug it in the second equation
x + y = 312
isolate y by subtracting x from both sides:
x - x + y = 312
y = 312 - x
Apply y = 312 - x to the second equation
12x + 5y = 2204
12x + 5( 312 - x) = 2204
12x + 1560 - 5x = 2204
7x + 1560 = 2204
Subtract 1560 from both sides to isolate x
7x + 1560 - 1560 = 2204 - 1560
7x = 644
Divide both sides by 7
7/7x = 644/7
x = 92
Now plugin 92 for x in the first equation to find the value of y
x + y = 312
92 + y = 312
subtract 92 from both sides
92 - 92 + y = 312 - 92
y = 220
x = 92, y = 220
92 tickets were sold to adults and 220 tickets were sold to children
