1. Start by identifying what the question wants so we are looking for miles per 1 gallon.
2. Set up a statement. When the word “per” is being used it relates to a fraction or a ratio. In this question we need to find how many miles a single gallon will give us. So set it up as miles/gallons
3. Plug in your numbers. Now our statement is 13 miles/15 gallons
4. Calculate. So do 13/15 which equals 0.86 miles per 1 gallon.
Tip: always add in words into your calculations. Mainly the units you are using so you can quickly look and know what the units will be. This will help you in upper placement math as well
Total tickets sold = 800
Total revenue = $3775
Ticket costs:
$3 per child,
$8 per adult,
$5 per senior citizen.
Of those who bought tickets, let
x = number of children
y = number of adults
z = senior citizens
Therefore
x + y + z = 800 (1)
3x + 8y + 5z = 3775 (2)
Twice as many children's tickets were sold as adults. Therefore
x = 2y (3)
Substitute (3) into (1) and (2).
2y + y + z = 800, or
3y + z = 800, or
z = 800 - 3y (4)
3(2y) + 8y + 5z = 3775, or
14y + 5z = 3775 (5)
Substtute (4) nto (5).
14y + 5(800 - 3y) = 3775
-y = -225
y = 225
From (4), obtain
z = 800 - 3y = 125
From (3), obtain
x = 2y = 450
Answer:
The number of tickets sold was:
450 children,
225 adults,
125 senior citizens.
I think its the first one
Break down the words into an equation:
(x+7)/(x+3) + (x-4)/3
