Answer:
<h3>
41</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
The consecutive integers are increasing by 1
x ← the smallest integer
x+1 ← the middle integer
x+1+1 = x+2 ← the largest integer
x + x+1 + x+2 = 120
3x + 3 = 120
÷3 ÷3
x + 1 = 40
-1 -1
x = 39
x+2 = 39 + 2 = 41
For this, we can set up a proportion.
Their aim was 15000, so if they raised 100% of their goal, they wouldve raised exactly 15000.
They raised 557%, so how much did they make?
Proportion:
$15000 100%
$x 557%
Our expression would be x=$15000*557% divided by 100%, which would be $83550, so... a lot of money.
(we did an “x” formation with the proportion, ie “connected” x with 100, and “connected” 15k and 557. The number connecting to x is what we divide the equation by, and the other two are multiplied and then divided by the first number connecting to x. Otherwise we couldve calculated 557% of 15000 and gotten the same result. Whichever way is easier for you :) )
55 adult tickets. Set up 2 equations: c+a=125 and 6.1c+9.4a=944. Isolate either variable from first equation and plug into second to find that 55 adult tickets were sold and 70 children’s tickets
