Estimate 58% of 121 by using 10%

1 answer:

5 0

58% is about equal to 60%, 10% of 121 is 12.1.
12.1 * 6 = 72.6
To take this further, 58% is 2% less than 60%, or 2 times 1%. 1% of 121 is 1.21.
72.6 - (1.21 * 2) = 72.6 - 2.42 = 70.18

IRISSAK [1]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

equations

20a +10c = 15000
c = 3a

solution

300 adult
900 children's

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Let "a" and "c" represent the numbers of adult and children's tickets sold, respectively. The problem statement tells us two relationships between these values:

... 20a +10c = 15000 . . . . . . total revenue from ticket sales

... c = 3a . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . relationship between numbers of tickets sold

Using the expression for c, we can substitute into the first equation to get ...

... 20a +10(3a) = 15000

... 50a = 15000

... a = 15000/50 = 300 . . . . . adult tickets sold

... c = 3·300 = 900 . . . . . children's tickets sold
