The owner of the Most Amazing Circus was counting the money from the day's ticket sales . He knew that a otal of 522 tickets were sold. Adult tickets cost $15 each and children's tickets cost $8 each. If the total receipts for the day were $5086.00 , how many of each kind of ticket were sold ?

a variable is any characteristics, number, or quantity that can be measured or counted. a variable may also be called a data item. hope i !

a) y = -3x +2

b) y = 1/2x -6

these 2 can be combined into one equation.

-3x +2 = .5x -6

8 = 3.5x

x = 8 / 3.5 = 2.2857142857

y = -3 * (8 / 3.5) +2

y = (-24 / 3.5) + 2

y = -4.8571428571

step-by-step explanation:

answer:   expression= p+p*d%

price reduction + sale price = $625

sale price: $p+$p*d%

where d% is the percentage of discount

step-by-step explanation:

original price = p

price went down by $150 price reduction $p*d%

sale price= $ 475

therefore the price before sale is: $625

and the expression that shows the price before sale is: p+p*d%
