Answer:
Number of students tickets sold = x = 380 tickets
Number of adults tickets sold = y = 150 tickets
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Number of students tickets sold = x
Number of adults tickets sold = y
x + y = 530 (1)
3x + 4y = 1740 (2)
From (1)
x = 530 - y
Substitute x = 530 - y into (2)
3x + 4y = 1740
3(530 - y) + 4y = 1740
1590 - 3y + 4y = 1740
- 3y + 4y = 1740 - 1590
y = 150
Substitute y = 150 into (1)
x + y = 530
x + 150 = 530
x = 530 - 150
x = 380
Number of students tickets sold = x = 380 tickets
Number of adults tickets sold = y = 150 tickets
Answer:
80
Step-by-step explanation:
The trick is to pick something that should be very easy to get an answer to. If you use a calculator, you are not estimating. 80 divide by 4 is like 8 divide by 4 which gives you 2. Then just add a zero. Here's another one you can try. Put your calculator away to do it. 12 chicken noodle soup cans cost 14 dollars. About how much does 1 can cost
no cheating. No calculator. Is the cost of 1 can more or less than a dollar? If you said more, you've estimated correctly.
Try it the other way. Suppose one can of the soup costs 0.95 cents. How many will 12 cans cost? More or less than 12 dollars.
If you said less, you are estimating correctly. The most useful gift you can take away from any math class is estimation.
