We can set up 2 equations given the information.
Let the price of advance ticket be represented by A and same day ticket by S
A + S = 50
20A + 40S = 1700
Solve for A in the first equation by subtracting S on both sides.
U will get A = 50 - S
Now substitute 50 - S for A in the second equation.
20 (50 - S) + 40S = 1700
1000 - 20S + 40S = 1700
20S = 700
S = 35
Same day ticket costs $35 and advance ticket costs $15
The correct answer is A. $18
8 x 125% or 8 x 1.25 = 10
Add $10 to $8 and you get $18
<span>To find the answer to this equation, use the result of "27 people" who prefer tea. This is equivalent to 3 out of 10 people in the whole survey sample. Using equivalent fractions to find the total sample, we see that "3/10 = 27/x." Multiplying 3 by 9 gives 27, so multiplying 10 by 9 gives a total sample size of 90 people.</span>
