A total of 472 tickets were sold. They were either adult tickets or student tickets. The number of student tickets were 3 times tge number of adult tickets sold. How many adult tickets were sold?

adult tickets = 118

student tickets = 354

Step-by-step explanation:

a = number of adult tickets

s = number of student tickets

a + s = 472

3a = s

substitute for s

a + 3a = 472

reduce

4a = 472

divide by 4

4a/4 = 472/4

a = 118

s = 354

b

step-by-step explanation:

a difference is the result of subtraction. while each of these expressions has subtraction in it, a difference will be the result when subtraction is the last operation applied in the order of operations for the expression. this means subtraction must be outside of the parenthesis. only b has this.

hello :

by applying the distributive property :

6 × 4.3 = 6 × ( 4 + 0.3 )

            =   (6 ×   4) + (6 ×   0.3)

            = 24 + 1.8

6 × 4.3 = 25.8
