Answer:

88 adult tickets and 77 student tickets were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of adult tickets sold be 8x and the number of student tickets sold be 7x.

adult tickets + student tickets = 165 tickets

8x + 7x = 165

15x = 165

x = 165 ÷ 15

  = 11

No. of adult tickets sold (8x) = 11 × 8

                                               = 88

No. of student tickets sold (7x) = 11 × 7

                                                   = 77

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

first divide 165 and 15 ( 8 + 7 )

165 / 15 = 11 tickets per 1 part of the ratio (if that makes sense)

then just multiply 11 times both parts of the ratio

8 x 11 = 88 adult tickets

7 x 11 = 77 student tickets

check your answer by add the tickets together if you get 165 your answer was correct

88 + 77  = 165

hope this helps <3

Find the point that is 3/4 of the distance P (-6,-5) to the point Q (2,7)
Zarrin [17]

Using proportions, the coordinates of the point 3/4 of the way from P to Q are: (0,4).

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct or inverse proportional, can be built to find the desired measures in the problem.

We want to find the coordinates of point M(x,y) 3/4 of the way from P to Q, hence the rule is given by:

M - P = 3/4(Q - P)

For the x-coordinate, we have that:

x + 6 = 3/4(2 + 6)

x + 6 = 6

x  = 0.

For the y-coordinate, we have that:

y + 5 = 3/4(7 + 5)

y + 5 = 9.

y = 4.

The coordinates are (0,4).
