Answer: 40 pages in total
Step-by-step explanation:
Ms. Vega has read 20% of the book and this translates to 8 pages of the book.
20% = 8 pages
Assume the total number of pages is x:
20% * x = 8
0.2x = 8
x = 8 / 0.2
x = 40 pages in total
3 - (-2) = 1 because there's more positive than negative and the signs are different so you subtract. 3 - (-2) is the same as 3 + (-2). So be careful when choosing the brainiest answer! You may use a calculator and see whoever is correct.
We will use the distributive property. -4 times 9z=-36z -4 times -2=8 so we have -36z+8 as our answer
<u>Answer:</u>
The number of tickets bought is 1000 adults tickets and 700 children were present
<u>Explanation:</u>
Let the number of children and adults present in the circus be x and y respectively
According to question,
Then, x + y = 1700 ……………..equation (1)
And, cost of ticket to circus for children and adult be 19, 42 respectively
Total cost of ticket;
for adults = 42y; for children = 19x
19x + 42y = 55300 …………………equation (2)
Multiplying equation (1) by 19
19x + 19y = 32300 ……………… eqn (3)
Subtracting equation 1 and 3, we get
23y = 23000
y = 1000
putting this value in eq (1), we get x = 700
Therefore, 1000 adults and 700 children were present
