Total tickets sold = 800
Total revenue = $3775
Ticket costs:
$3 per child,
$8 per adult,
$5 per senior citizen.
Of those who bought tickets, let
x = number of children
y = number of adults
z = senior citizens
Therefore
x + y + z = 800 (1)
3x + 8y + 5z = 3775 (2)
Twice as many children's tickets were sold as adults. Therefore
x = 2y (3)
Substitute (3) into (1) and (2).
2y + y + z = 800, or
3y + z = 800, or
z = 800 - 3y (4)
3(2y) + 8y + 5z = 3775, or
14y + 5z = 3775 (5)
Substtute (4) nto (5).
14y + 5(800 - 3y) = 3775
-y = -225
y = 225
From (4), obtain
z = 800 - 3y = 125
From (3), obtain
x = 2y = 450
Answer:
The number of tickets sold was:
450 children,
225 adults,
125 senior citizens.
Answer:
C. 0.24
Step-by-step explanation:
A carton contains 1.92 liters of milk. There are 8 servings in the carton. How many liters of milk are in each serving? A. 0.14 B. 0.19 C. 0.24 D. 0.29
From the above question:
8 servings = 1.92 liters of milk
1 serving = x liters
Cross Multiply
8 × x liters = 1 × 1.92 liters
x liters = 1.92 liters/8
x liters = 0.24 liters
There are 0.24 liters of milk, in 1 serving
Answer:
The letter "x" is often used in algebra to mean a value that is not yet known. It is called a "variable" or sometimes an "unknown". In x + 2 = 7, x is a variable, but we can work out its value if we try!
