Step-by-step explanation:
C = child tickets
a = adult tickets
Solve this with the substitution method.
Make two equations:
6.30c + 9.90a = 1,246.50
c + a = 159
Solve for c.
Subtract 9.90a from both sides.
6.30c = 1,246.50 - 9.90a
Divide both sides by 6.30.
c = 197.86 - <span>1.57a (rounded to hundredths)
Plug c into second equation.
</span>197.86 - 1.57a + a = 159
Combine like terms.
197.86 - 0.57a = 159
Subtract 197.86 from both sides.
-0.57a = -38.86
Divide both sides by -0.57.
a = <span>68.18
round up to ones: 68

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
At Greg's Gas Station premium gasoline costs $0.14 more per gallon than regular gasoline .
Let the cost of regular gasoline be $x per gallon, then the cost of premium gasoline per gallon will be x + 0.14
If Mr. Adams spent $36.25 on 12.5 gallons of regular gasoline, it means that 12.5x = 36.25
x = 36.25/12.5 = $2.9
The cost of regular gasoline is $2.9 per gallon
Therefore, cost of premium gasoline per gallon will be 2.9+ 0.14 = 3.04
if he bought 12.5 gallons of premium gasoline instead, he would have paid
12.5× 3.04 = $38
The amount that he would have spent more will be
38 - 36.25 = $1.75
4x-3y=17......(1)
5x+4y=60......(2)
Multiply equation (1) by 4 and equation (2) by 3:-
16x - 12y = 68
15x + 12y = 180
Adding these 2 equations:_
31x = 248
x = 248/31 = 8
Now substitute x = 8 in equation (1):-
4(8) - 3y = 17
32-3y = 17
-3y = -15
y = -15/-3 = 5
So solution is x=8,y=5
