Answer:
B: 72
Step-by-step explanation:
Split the shape into separate rectangles! It will make the problem much easier. You can split it so that you will have a 12 x 3 rectangle and a 6 x 6 rectangle because you subtract 3 from 9 and subtract 6 from 12.
12 x 3 = 36
6 x 6 = 36
36 + 36 = 72

1) Before tax = $249.99
100% = 1 = 249.99
4% = 0.04
100% + 4% = 104% = 1.04 multiplier
1.04 x $249.99 = $259.9896 = $259.99 After Tax
2) After tax = $249.99
100% = 1
4% = 0.04
1 + 0.04 = 1.04
104% = $249.99
$249.99 / 1.04 = $240.375 = $240.38 Before Tax
So what you are trying to find is the certain amount of children tickets and adult tickets. the final amount is a total of $12. This means that a unknown number of children tickets (c) times 1.50 (price of each ticket for children) plus the unknown number of adult tickets (a) times 4.00 (price of each ticket for adults) equals a final cost of $12.00.
Equation: 1.50c+4.00a= 12.00
