Question:
At a carnival, food tickets cost $2 each and ride tickets cost $3 each. A total of $1,240 was collected at the carnival. The number of food tickets sold was 10 less than twice the number of ride tickets sold.
How many of each type of ticket were sold?
Answer:
350 food tickets and 180 ride tickets were sold
Solution:
Let "x" be the number of food tickets sold
Let "y" be the number of ride tickets sold
Cost of 1 food ticket = $ 2
Cost of 1 ride ticket = $ 3
The number of food tickets sold was 10 less than twice the number of ride tickets sold
Number of food tickets sold = twice the number of ride tickets sold - 10
x = 2y - 10 -------- eqn 1
A total of $1,240 was collected at the carnival
Therefore, we frame a equation as:
number of food tickets sold x Cost of 1 food ticket + number of ride tickets sold x Cost of 1 ride ticket = 1240
2x + 3y = 1240 ------- eqn 2
Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2
Substitute eqn 1 in eqn 2
2(2y - 10) + 3y = 1240
4y - 20 + 3y = 1240
7y = 1260
Substitute y = 180 in eqn 1
x = 2(180) - 10
x = 360 - 10
Thus 350 food tickets and 180 ride tickets were sold
To solve this problem, set up an equation using the given weights and solve for 'x' to find the weights of each friend's bag.
To solve this problem, we need to set up an equation based on the given information.
First, let's express the weights of Randall's, Seth's, and Joanna's bags in terms of 'x':
According to the problem, Randall's and Joanna's bags together weigh 3 times as much as Seth's bag. Mathematically, this can be written as:
(3x - 7) + (2x + 2) = 3(2x - 10)
Solving this equation will give us the value of 'x', which we can then use to find the weights of each friend's bag.

Answer:
Randall=68 pounds, Seth's=40, Joanna's=52
Step-by-step explanation:
Randall's = 3x-7
Seth's = 2x-10
Joanna's = 2x+2
Randall's + Joanna's = 3 (Seth's)
Find X:
Find how many pounds of trash each friend picked up:
Randall's:
Seth's:
Joanna's:
Double check your answers:
Randall's+Joanna's= Seth's(3)
68+52=40(3)
120=120
You're good to go!
What is the answer?
x > –3
B.
x ≤ –3
C.
x < –3
D.
x ≥ –3
Answer:
The answer is B. x≤-3.
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph is to the left of -3, so it's < or ≤.
The circle is filled in so -3 also satisfies the inequality, so it's ≤.
