Alright this is gonna be a long one
Lets called child tickets x and adult tickets y
so x + y should be equal to 159 since they said that the total sum of the tickets is 159
so thats your first equation : x + y = 159
next form an equation using the prices,
5.40x + 8.70y = 1079.70
now that you have your two equations, just substitute the first into the second (you could either substitute for x or y by saying x = 159-y or that y=159-x)
Hope this helps.
Answer:
x = 12.5
Step-by-step explanation:
2.4x=1.2x+15
Subtract 1.2x from each side
2.4x -1.2x=1.2x-1.2x+15
1.2x =15
Divide by 1.2 on each side
1.2x/ 1.2 = 15/1.2
x = 12.5
First of all, it tells you that it eats 210 pounds of bamboo each week. A week has seven days so 210/7 which is 30. That is how much ONE panda eats per day. Because it is asking for two pandas, you multiply 30 by 2 and you get 60. So the answer is 60 pounds of a bamboo for two pandas per day
