When you say "at the same ratio", you mean that you consume the same amount of gas for the same amount of miles.
We know that everytime you drive 75 miles, you use 3 gallons of gas.
Since 12 gallons of gas is four times 3 gallons of gas, if the ratio remains the same, you can drive four times the distance:
You drive 75 miles, and use 3 gallons.
You drive 75 more miles (so you are at miles) and use 3 more gallons, so you use
gallons.
You drive 75 more miles (so you are at miles) and use 3 more gallons, so you use
gallons.
You drive 75 more miles (so you are at miles) and use 3 more gallons, so you use
gallons, and you're done.
The number of kids in your group is 12.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Number of people = 20
Cost of each kid ticket = $4
Cost of each adult ticket = $6
Total spent = $96
Let,
x be the number of kids ticket
y be the number of adult ticket
According to given statement;
x+y=20 Eqn 1
4x+6y=96 Eqn 2
Multiplying Eqn 1 by 4
Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2
Dividing both sides by 2
Putting y=8 in Eqn 1
The number of kids in your group is 12.
