Answer:
461 adults and 864 students
Step-by-step explanation:
We can set-up a system of equations to find the number of adults. We know students and adults attended. We will let s be the number of students and a be the number of adults. Since 1,325 tickets were purchased, then s+a=1325.
We also know that a total of $3,169 was collected and adult tickets cost $5 each and students cost $1 each. We can write 1s+5a=3169.
We will solve by substituting one equation into the other. We first solve the first equation for s which is s=1325-a. Substitute s=1325-a into 1s+5a=3169. Simplify and isolate the variable a.
1(1325-a)+5a=3169
1325-a+5a=3169
1325+4a=3169
1325-1325+4a=3169-1325
4a=1844
a=461
This means that 461 adults attended and 864 students attended since 864+461=1325.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the "number."
"twice the difference of a number and 16" can be written as:
2(x-16)
"is the same as three times a number less than 18" can be written as:
= 3(x<18)
I wonder if this was meant to say "is the same as three times a number less 18," instead of "less than 18." If so, we would have:
=3(x-18)
1. Using the sentence as written: 2(x-16) = 3(x<18)
2. Using the sentence as amended: 2(x-16) = =3(x-18)
Going with this interpretation:
2(x-16) = 3(x-18)
2x - 32 = 3x - 54
x = 22
So the train is pulling about 50 cars in total, and there's about 30 boxes of freight in each car.
30 x 50 = 1500
The best estimate would be near 1500 boxes of freight through the whole train.
