Let x be the number of child tickets he bought
Let y be the number of adult tickers he bought
① x+y=7 (child tickets+adult ticket=7 tickets in total)
② 2x+4y=24 (price of child tickets+price of adult tickets=$24 in total)
We may simply the second equation since all of the coefficients are divisible by 2.
① x+y=7
② x+2y=12
We can now use elimination by multiplying the second equation by -1.
② -(x+2y=12)
② -x-2y=-12
① x+y=7
② -x-2y=-12
Now putting the equations together,
-y=-5
y=5
x=2
Therefore he bought 2 child tickets and 5 adult tickets
To figure this out, replace the variables with their given values.
p(a/b) = p(.4/.5)
Then you divide!
.4/.5 = .8
Hope this helps!
