How much money did the fundraiser make?
Answer:
There are 102 coins total:
34 Quarters
20 loonies
48 toonies
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming money is counted in coins instead of value, it can be solved like this.
1. find a common denominator for 1/3 and 1/5. We can use 15. So, of the money collected, 5/15 were quarters and 3/15 were loonies. This makes 7/15 toonies. If there are 48 toonies, we can divide this by 7 to find the value of 1/15. 48/7 = 6 6/7. Multiply this number by 15 (for each value) and you get 102 6/7.

Answer:
45 tickets for the matinee were sold
Step-by-step explanation:
let m represent the number of matinee tickets sold and
let e represent the number of evening tickets sold.
Create a system of equations and solve for m
m + e = 130 → (1) ( total ticket sales )
6m + 10e = 1120 → (2) ( income from tickets sold )
multiplying (1) by - 10 and adding the result to (2) will eliminate e
- 10m - 10e = - 1300 → (3)
add (2) and (3) term by term to eliminate e
(6m - 10m) + (10e - 10e) = 1120 - 1300
- 4m + 0 = - 180
- 4m = - 180 ( divide both sides by - 4 )
m = 45
the number of matinee tickets sold was 45
