What we need to do is find the difference between the two numbers to find the difference in price and then figure out what the percent of 23.5 that is
23.50-18.80=4.7
now we'll set up a proportion
4.7 x
----- = -----
23.5 100
then cross multiply and divide
100×4.7=470/23.5=20
the percent of decrease is 20%
I hope I've helped!
Omitted value: The price of children ticket was omitted in the question, so i used $8 to solve. You can input the correct value and solve the same way following the steps.
Answer: 100 adult tickets must be sold.
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
let x represent Adults
AND y represent children
Since the theater seats 250 people we have that
x+y = 250..... equation 1
Also price for Adult ticket = $11
and price children ticket =$8
With total sales at $2,300, we have that
11x + 8y= 2300----- equation 2
Step 2
Making y subject in equation 1
' x+y = 250
y= 250-x
Putting y= 250- x in equation 2
11x + 8(250-x)= 2300
11x +2000-8x= 2300
11x -8x = 2300-2000
3x= 300
x 300/3
x= 100.
To find y
x+y = 250
100+y=250
y=250-100
y=150
Therefore 100 adult tickets and 150 children tickets must be sold to get a total sales of $2,300
<span>Let x = amt of water evaporated :.05(50) = .08(50-x) 2.5 = 4 - .08x .08x = 4 - 2.5 .08x = 1.5 x = 18.75 lb of water evaporated : ; Check; amt of salt remains the same, only the percentage is different, right? .05(50) = .08(50-18.75) .05(50) = .08(31.25) 2.5 = 2.5</span>
I would say 10 and 1/3 of the 1 1/2 liter bottles
Answer:
5.5 or 5 or 6
Step-by-step explanation:
anne=5+7=12(blankets per day)
bella=2+8=10 (blankets per day)
We need to use the 12 times table and 10 times table and see when they meet up
12, 24, 36, 48, 60
10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60
it will take 5.5 days or 5 or 6
