Mr. Nesbit realized that the bell was about to ring and he was going to be late. So

Tickets for a dance recital cost $15 for adults and $7 for children. The dance company sold 253 tickets, and the total receipts

elixir [45]

Answer:

Adult tickets =125

Child tickets = 128

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of adult and children tickets sold be x and y respectively

So that

x+y= 253--------1

Since total sales/receipt is $2,771

And given that tickets for a dance recital cost $15 for adults and $7 for children hence

15x+7y= 2771-------2

Solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously we have

x+y= 253---------------1

15x+7y= 2771----------2

Let us multiply equation 1 by 15 to get equation 3 to eliminate x and subtract equation 2 from 3

15x+15y=3795---------3

-{15x+7y= 2771----------2

0+8y=1024

8y= 1024

y= 1024/8

y= 128 tickets

So solve for x let us put y= 128 in equation 1

x+ 128=253

x=253-128

x= 125 tickets

Over the last three evenings, Donna received a total of 129 phone calls at the call center. The third evening, she received 3 ti

lakkis [162]

Answer:

Number of calls received in 1st evening = 24

Number of calls received in 2nd evening = 33

Number of calls received in 3rd evening = 72

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

number of calls received in first evening be "x"

number of calls received in 2nd evening be "y"

number of calls received in 3rd evening be "z"

Total, in 3 evenings, we have 129 phone calls, so we can write:

x + y + z = 129

3rd evening, 3 times as first evening. We can write:

z = 3x

2nd evening, 9 MORE THAN FIRST. So we can write:

y = 9 + x

Now we replace 2nd and 3rd equation in 1st equation to get:

x + y + z = 129

x + 9 + x + 3x = 129

Now, first, we solve for x:

$x + 9 + x + 3x = 129\\5x+9=129\\5x=120\\x=24$

Solving for y:

y = 9 + x

y = 9 + 24

y = 33

Solving for z:

z = 3x

z = 3(24)

z = 72

Thus,

Number of calls received in 1st evening = 24

Number of calls received in 2nd evening = 33

Number of calls received in 3rd evening = 72
