Answer:

512 student tickets were purchased.

Step-by-step explanation:

Represenation of the unknowns:  Let s be the number of student tickets and a the number of adult tickets.  Then s + a = 1294.

The dollar amounts are thus ($5/ticket)s + (8/ticket)a = $8816.

Goal: Find s; to do this, eliminate a.

Since s + a = 1294, a = 1294 - s

Then:  5s + 8(1294 - s) = 8816, or

5s - 8s + 8(1294) = 8816, or

-3s + 10352 = 8816

Isolating the 3s term, we get

-3s - 1536 = 0, or

3s = 1536, which yields s = 512

512 student tickets were purchased.

Lena will use 7 cups of apples to make 4 batches of applesauc. Which expression shows the number of cups of apples in each batch
astraxan [27]

Answer:  1 3/4 cups of apples in each batch

Step-by-step explanation:

STEP  1

Writing out the equation to represent if 7 cups of  apples make 4 batches   One batch is as a result of how many  cups of apples

LET x be number of cups of apples to make each batch

7 cups of  apples = 4 Batches

        x cups of apples = 1 Batch

STEP 2  Solving by cross multiplication

1 batch x 7 cups of apples = 4 batches  X x cups of apples

x cups of apples=1 batch x 7 cups of apples / 4batches

x   = 7 / 4 =  1 3/4

number of cups of apples to make each batch=  1 3/4
