Let a=price of adult ticket
let c=price of a child's ticket
start out by writing the following system of equations:
3a+4c=132
2a+3c=94
then, multiply the first equation by 2, and the second equation by 3 to get the following system of equations:
6a+8c=264
6a+9c=282
subtract the like terms to get the following equation:
-c=-18
divide both sides by -1 to get rid of the negative to get the price of a child's ticket to be $18. to find the price of an adult ticket, pick one of the original equations to substitute the 18 in for c to find a. for example:
2a+3c=94
2a+3(18)=94
2a+54=94
-54 -54
2a=40
2 2
a=20
or if you decide to use the other equation:
3a+4c=132
3a+4(18)=132
3a+72=132
-72 -72
3a=60
3 3
a=20
either way, you still get an adults ticket to be $20 and a child's ticket to be $18.
10.9 = x% of 34
10.9 is the amount
x% is the percent
34 is the base
Answer:
45,000 is the starting salary with zero sales
.05 is the amount multiplied by the number of sales that is added to her salary
For each sale we add .05 to her salary
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 45,000 +.05x
Rewriting as
y = .05x +45,000
This is in slope intercept form ( y=mx+b) where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
.05 is the slope and 45,000 is the y intercept
45,000 is the starting salary with zero sales
.05 is the amount multiplied by the number of sales that is added to her salary
For each sale we add .05 to her salary
