One way to figure this out is to go from 2-10, and multiply them by them self each other to see what number works.
Another way is to use a calculator and the square root button.
Hope that helps!
Let x=gallons of 80% solution to be mixed
x+80=gallons go final 70% mixture
..
80%*x+30%*80=70%*(x+80)
.8x+24=.7x+56
.1x=32
x=320
gallons of 80% solution to be mixed=320
Answer: 321 adult tickets and 227 children tickets were sold.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of adult tickets that were sold.
Let y represent the number of children tickets that were sold.
The total number of tickets that the theatre sold is 548. This means that
x + y = 548
Adult tickets sell for $6.50 each, and children's tickets sell for $3.50 each. The total ticket sales was $2881. This means that
6.5x + 3.5y = 2881 - - - - - - - - - - -1
Substituting x = 548 - y into equation 1, it becomes
6.5(548 - y) + 3.5y = 2881
3562 - 6.5y + 3.5y = 2881
- 6.5y + 3.5y = 2881 - 3562
- 3y = - 681
y = - 681/ -3
y = 227
x = 548 - y = 548 - 227
x = 321
