Answer: x = $7, y = $6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the cost of an adult ticket
Let y be the cost of a children's ticket
Translate these sentences to algebra:
At the circus, three adult tickets and five child tickets cost $51: 3x + 5y = 51
Five adult tickets and two child tickets cost $47: 5x + 2y = 47
Now we have two equations. Let's use substitution to solve.
3x + 5y = 51
3x = 51 - 5y
.: x = 17 - 5y/3
Now substitute this value of x into the second equation to find the numerical value of y:
5(17 - 5y/3) + 2y = 47
85 - 25y/3 + 2y = 47
-19y/3 = -38
-19y = -114
.: y = 6
Now find x:
x = 17 - 5y/3
x = 17 - 10
.: x = 7
So an adult ticket costs $7, and a child ticket costs $6 :)
well, a carton has a dozen, namely 12 or the 100%, two were cracked.
if we know 12 is the 100%, what is 2 off of it in percentage?

Answer:
(b)0.56
(c)0.38
Step-by-step explanation:
(a)The tree diagram is attached.
P(Ben Fails)=1-0.8=0.2
P(Tom Fails)=1-0.7=0.3
(b)Probability that both will pass their driving test.
P(both will pass)=0.8 X 0.7 =0.56
(c)Probability that only one of them will pass their driving test.
P(Tom Bass, Ben Fails OR Ben Pass, Tom Fails)
=(0.7 X 0.2)+(0.8 X 0.3)
=0.14+0.24
=0.38
Answer:
-8
Step-by-step explanation:
First combine like terms:
4x-8=32+9x
-40=5x
-8=x
