Answer: 321 adult tickets and 227 children tickets were sold.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of adult tickets that were sold.
Let y represent the number of children tickets that were sold.
The total number of tickets that the theatre sold is 548. This means that
x + y = 548
Adult tickets sell for $6.50 each, and children's tickets sell for $3.50 each. The total ticket sales was $2881. This means that
6.5x + 3.5y = 2881 - - - - - - - - - - -1
Substituting x = 548 - y into equation 1, it becomes
6.5(548 - y) + 3.5y = 2881
3562 - 6.5y + 3.5y = 2881
- 6.5y + 3.5y = 2881 - 3562
- 3y = - 681
y = - 681/ -3
y = 227
x = 548 - y = 548 - 227
x = 321

Answer:
1/4 of a pie
Step-by-step explanation:
2 / 8 = 1/4
r = -3/4p - 18/5
(or you could put 3.6 or 3 3/5 instead of 18/5)
2 - 3/4p = 5/6r + 5
-5 -5
-3 - 3/4p = 5/6r
/(5/6) /(5/6)
-18/5 - 3/4p = r
-3/4p - 18/5 = r
