Answer:

20​% alcohol = 1 gal

10​% alcohol = 9 gal

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = 20​% alcohol

y = 10​% alcohol

x + y = 10 (1)

0.20x + 0.10y = 10*0.11

0.20x + 0.10y = 1.1 (2)

From (1)

x = 10 - y

Substitute x = 10 - y into (2)

0.20x + 0.10y = 1.1

0.20(10 - y) + 0.10y = 1.1

2 - 0.20y + 0.10y = 1.1

- 0.20y + 0.10y = 1.1 - 2

-0.10y = -0.9

y = -0.9/-0.10

y = 9 gal

substitute y = 9 into (1)

x + y = 10

x + 9 = 10

x = 10 - 9

x = 1 gal

20​% alcohol = 1 gal

10​% alcohol = 9 gal

University Theater sold 465 tickets for a play. Tickets cost $23 per adult and $13 per senior citizen. If total receipts were $7
liq [111]

<u>Answer:</u>

355 senior citizen tickets were sold.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Assuming a to the the ticket of adults and s to be the ticket of senior citizens, we can write two equations as:

a +s=465 --- (1)

23a+13s=7145 --- (2)

From equation 1, a=465-s.

Substitute a in equation 2 to get:

23 (465-s) + 13s = 7145

10695 - 23s +13s =7145

-10s = -3550

s = 355

Therefore, there were 355 senior citizen tickets sold.

Will someone help me with both of these I have to solve for the unknown portions please
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

b=2.5

p=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the fraction and simplify it. So 10/8 would be 5/4

You multiply the 2 by 2, giving you h/4

So now you have 5/4=h/4

h=5 but now you have to divide both by 2 again so it can go back to the original fraction.

5÷2=2.5 and 4÷2=2

Second Problem! 4/2 is equal to 2/1

You can also multiply 4 by 3 to get the numerator as 12. Multiply the 4 by 3 and the 2 by 3

Now you have 12/6= 12/p

So p is 6
