You are close but 1/27 includes people who did not study but still passed. If you want a singular value you should look at the value for the for only the people who studied even if they passed.
Answer:
The electrician has 14 feet of cable.
Answer:
72
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of candies = n
Tracy ate = 1/3 of n = n/3 remaining 2n / 3
she gave 1/4 of the remainder to her friend = 1/4 of ( n - n/3) = 2n / 12
the new remainder = (2n / 3) - (2n / 12) = n /2
she and her mom then ate altogether = 30
and the brother took from 1 to five, the number he took = x
and she has 3 left
( n/2) - 30 - x = 3
n = 2 ( 33 + x)
now we know that the candies could not be broken and x is between 1 to 5
n = 2 (33 + 1), 2 (33+2), 2(33 +3), 2 (33+ 4) and 2 (33 + 5) this are the possible values of n, ( 68, 70, 72, 74, 76) and the multiple of 3 is 72
n therefore = 72
First, we must let:
x = number of tickets intended for adults
y = number of tickets intended for children.
a. Write in terms of x the number of tickets for children
Solution:
x + y = 28 ⇔ y = 28 - x (equation 1)
To answer in terms of x:
no. of tickets for tickets for children = 28 - x
b. the amount spent on tickets for adults
Solution: $30 is the cost of ticket per adult and there are x number of tickets intended for adults.
Therefore,
amount spent on ticket for adults = 30x
c. the amount spent on the tickets.
Solution:
$ 15 = cost of ticket per child
$ 30 = cost of ticket per adult
total amount spent on tickets = 30x + 15y ⇒ (equation2)
substitute equation 1 to equation 2.
(equation 1) y = 28 - x
(equation 2) total amount spent on tickets = 30x + 15y
total amount spent on tickets = 30x + 15(28-x)
total amount spent on tickets = 30x + 420 - 15x
total amount spent on tickets = 15x + 420
