Clare has 80 pencils and 56 erasers to give away. What is the largest number of group that can formed with the same numbers of p

Leokris [45]

Answer:

56

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume each person in the group must have 1 pencil AND 1 eraser each.

Since you have more pencils than erasers, then the limiting factor is the number of erasers. So a group of 56 people will have 1 pencil And 1 eraser and Clare will have 24 pencils left over (assuming Clare has her own pencil and eraser - if not then the group size is 55 assuming Clare is not in the group)

sorry if it's too confusing

: A theater sells tickets for a concert. Adult tickets sell for $6.50 each, and children's tickets sell for $3.50 each. The thea

BARSIC [14]

Answer: 321 adult tickets and 227 children tickets were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of adult tickets that were sold.

Let y represent the number of children tickets that were sold.

The total number of tickets that the theatre sold is 548. This means that

x + y = 548

Adult tickets sell for $6.50 each, and children's tickets sell for $3.50 each. The total ticket sales was $2881. This means that

6.5x + 3.5y = 2881 - - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 548 - y into equation 1, it becomes

6.5(548 - y) + 3.5y = 2881

3562 - 6.5y + 3.5y = 2881

- 6.5y + 3.5y = 2881 - 3562

- 3y = - 681

y = - 681/ -3

y = 227

x = 548 - y = 548 - 227

x = 321
