Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify the following:
(-(2 + 2/3))/(-(1 + 1/3))
(-(2 + 2/3))/(-(1 + 1/3)) = (-1)/(-1)×(2 + 2/3)/(1 + 1/3) = (2 + 2/3)/(1 + 1/3):
(2 + 2/3)/(1 + 1/3)
Put 1 + 1/3 over the common denominator 3. 1 + 1/3 = 3/3 + 1/3:
(2 + 2/3)/(3/3 + 1/3)
3/3 + 1/3 = (3 + 1)/3:
(2 + 2/3)/((3 + 1)/3)
3 + 1 = 4:
(2 + 2/3)/(4/3)
Put 2 + 2/3 over the common denominator 3. 2 + 2/3 = (3×2)/3 + 2/3:
((3×2)/3 + 2/3)/(4/3)
3×2 = 6:
(6/3 + 2/3)/(4/3)
6/3 + 2/3 = (6 + 2)/3:
((6 + 2)/3)/(4/3)
6 + 2 = 8:
(8/3)/(4/3)
Multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator, (8/3)/(4/3) = 8/3×3/4:
(8×3)/(3×4)
(8×3)/(3×4) = 3/3×8/4 = 8/4:
8/4
The gcd of 8 and 4 is 4, so 8/4 = (4×2)/(4×1) = 4/4×2 = 2:

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.
