Answer:

The percent decrease is 35%.

Step-by-step explanation:

percent change = (new value - old value)/(old value) × 100%

new value = $52

old value = $80

percent change = ($52 - $80)/($80) × 100%

percent change = -$28/$80 × 100%

percent change = -35%

A negative percent change means a percent decrease.

Answer: 35%

the starving actors guild holds its annual winter arts festival in hopes of raising $13,344 by selling 824 tickets. The guild ch
kap26 [50]
A + c = 824                             represents number of tickets to sell
20a + 12c = 13,344                represents cost of each type of ticket

multiply equation 1 by -12 to cancel the variable 'c' and solve for 'a'

-12(a + c = 824)

-12a - 12c = - 9888
 20a + 12c = 13,344         add equations together
-----------------------------
    8a          = 3456           divide both sides by 8
     a = 432

To find children's tickets substitute adult numbers back into equation 1.
a + c = 824
432 + c = 824
subtract 432 from both sides
c = 392

adult 432, children 392
