a theatre sold a total of 780 adult and student tickets. An adult ticket costs $8, a student ticket costs $3, and the total ticket sales were $4,440. Write a system of equations and find the number of adult and student tickets sold.​

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Number of Adult tickets sold = 420

Number of Students tickets sold = 360

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as ,

Number of adult ticket + Number of Students tickets = 780  

Each Adult ticket cost = $8

Each Student ticket cost = $3

Total of ( Adult ticket cost + Student ticket cost) = $ 4,440

i.e

A + S = 780         ....1

And 8A + 3S = 4440         .....2

Solve eq 1 and 2

Or, 8A + 3S = 4440

     3A + 3S = 2340

Or, (8A + 3S) - (3A + 3S) = (4440 - 2340)

or,  5A = 2100

So, A = 420    

Now put this A value in eq 1

So 420 + S = 780

Or, S = 780 - 420

So , S = 360  

Hence The Number of Adult tickets sold = 420

And     The Number of Student tickets sold = 360

What is greater 2/8 or 3/16

Answers

2/8 is greater. In order to figure out the answer for this, I cross multiplied. So, first, you would do 2 times 16. And 8 times 3. 2 times 16 is 32 and 8 times 3 is 24. 32 is greater than 24, and the 34 comes from 2/8. Good luck!
2/8=4/16 because if you multiply 8x2, it equals 16, which would then make it 4/16 and 3/16 comparable, so then you just look at which numerator (top number) is bigger, so 2/8 would be greater.

Hey, can I get some help on this question?

Answers

I’m not sure, but I believe the answer is C. (-3.4, -2). The reason why is because (-7/2, -2) makes absolutely no sense, (-3, 0) does not make sense either since the middle’s Y axis is -2, And for it to be (-3, -2), the X axis number would have to be directly on the “-3” line.
