Answer:

1 1/3 bags of chocolate chips

Step-by-step explanation:

If Alana has 2 1/4 bags of chocolate chips that she wants to use in 3 batches of chocolate chip cookies, then we can say;

2 1/4 bags of cookies = 3 batches of chips

To determine how much of the chocolate chips will she use in each batch of cookies, we can say;

1 bag of cookies = x batches of chips

Equating both expressions

2 1/4 bags of cookies = 3 batches of chips

1 bag of cookies = x batches of chips

Cross multiply

2 1/4 x = 3

9/4 x = 3

9x/4 = 3

9x = 12

x = 12/9

x = 4/3

x = 1 1/3

Hence Alana will need 1 1/3 bags of chocolate chips

Admission to a baseball game is $2.50 for general admission and $5.00 for reserved seats. The receipts were $2882.50 for 876 pai
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

599 general admission tickets were sold while 277 reserved seats admission tickets were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know the number of each types of tickets sold.

Let the number of general admission ticket be x while the number of reserved seats ticket be y

Mathematically since the total of both tickets is 876;

then;

x + y = 876 ••••••••••••(i)

The total amount of money generated from general admission is cost of general admission ticket * the number of general admission tickets sold = $2.50 * x = $2.50x

The total amount of money generated from reserved seat admission tickets sales is cost of reserved seat admission ticket * the number of reserved seats admission ticket sold = $5 * y = $5y

Adding both gives $2882.50

Thus;

2.5x + 5y = 2882.5 •••••••••(ii)

Now, from i, let’s say x = 876 -y

Let’s insert this into ii

2.5(876-y) + 5y = 2882.5

2190 -2.5y + 5y = 2882.5

2190 + 2.5y = 2882.5

2.5y = 2882.5 - 2190

2.5y = 692.5

y = 692.5/2.5

y = 277

Recall;

x = 876 -y

Thus;

x = 876 - 277 = 599
