B=number of ticets sold before
a=number of tickets sold after
cost of a ticket=number of tickets times cost per ticket
beforecost=39.95b
aftercost=54.95a
total cost=925000
39.95b+54.95a=925000
total number tickets=20000
b+a=20000
we have
39.95b+54.95a=925000
b+a=20000
multiply second equation by -39.95 and add to first equatin
39.95b+54.95a=925000
<u>-39.95b-39.95a=-799000 +</u>
0b+15a=126000
15a=126000
divide bot sides by 15
a=8400
sub back
b+a=20000
b+8400=20000
minus 8400 both sides
b=11600
11,600 tickets sold before
8400 tickets sold after
Answer:
$0.41
Step-by-step explanation:
1 ice cream cone: $2.75
2 ice cream cones: 2 * $2.75 = $5.50
7.5% of $5.50 =
= 0.075 * $5.50
= $0.4125
Answer: $0.41
-4x + 6y = 12
x + 2y = -10
First solve for x in the second equation
x + 2y = -10
x = -10 - 2y
Now we have a value for x so we can substitute it into the other equation
-4 (-10 - 2y) + 6y = 12
Now solve for y
40 + 8y + 6y = 12
40 + 14y = 12
14y = -28
y = -2
Now we have a value for y that we can plug into one of the original equations so we can solve for x
x + 2y = -10
x + 2(-2) = -10
x - 4 = -10
x = -6
Your solution set is
(-6, -2)
