Answer:

353 tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that there are s student tickets and n nonstudent tickets.

s + n = 669

5s + 8n = 4293

Multiply -5 by the entire first equation to get...

-5s - 5n = -3345

Combine the two equations.

5s - 5s + 8n - 5n = 4293 - 3345

3n = 948

n = 316

Now, put the number of nonstudent tickets sold back into the first equation.

s + 316 = 669

s = 353 tickets.

Hope this helps!

There are two numbers. The first number is 4/9 of the second number. If the difference between the two numbers is 375, find the

X and y
x=4/9 times y

y is bigger so
y-x=375
x=4/9y
y-4/9y=375
5/9y=375
times both sides by 9/5
y=675

the 2nd number is 675

mel-nik [20]

50

Step-by-step explanation:

x= the number of pounds of the tropical taffy that should be used

You need to take the value of the Tropical Taffy + the value of the Passion Fruit taffy to = the value of Tropical Passion

value- price per pound times the number of pounds

625=0.5x+600

-600         -600

25=0.5x

50=x

Hope this helps!
