There was 3000 general admission tickets sold and 500 kid ticket sold.

How did I get this?

First, we need to see what information we have.
$2.50 = General admission tickets = (G)
 $0.50 = kids tickets =  (K)
There were 6x as many general admission tickets sold as kids. G = 6K

We need two equations:
G = 6K  
$2.50G + $.50K = $7750
Since, G = 6K we can substitute that into the 2nd equation.

2.50(6K) + .50K = 7750
Distribute 2.50 into the parenthesis

15K + .50K = 7750
combine like terms

15.50K = 7750
Divide both sides by 15.50, the left side will cancel out.

K = 7750/15.50
K = 500 tickets
So, 500 kid tickets were sold.

Plug K into our first equation (G = 6k)

G = 6*500
G = 3000 tickets

So, 3000 general admission tickets were sold,

Let's check this:

$2.50(3000 tickets) = $7500 (cost of general admission tickets)
$.50(500 tickets) = $250 (cost of general admission tickets)
$7500 + $250 = $7750 (total cost of tickets)

A cake has a mass of 2.5kg. It contains 275g of fruit. What percentage of fruit is there in the cake
Travka [436]
The answer is:  "11 %" . 
__________________________________
There is 11% of fruit in the cake.
______________________________
Explanation:
____________________________________

275g is what percent of 2.5 kg?  

First, convert "275 g" into "kg".

Note the exact conversion:  1000 g = 1 kg .  

So 275 g = (275/1000) kg  = 0.275 kg .


0.275 kg = (n/100) * 2.5 kg ; 

→ (n/100) * 2.5 = 0.275 ;
____________________________
Divide each side by "(2.5)" 
______________________
→ (n/100) = (0.275) / (2.5) ;

→ (n/100) = 0.11 ;

Multiply each side by "100" ; 

n = 11 . 
________________________________________
The answer is:  11 % .

  • 1) 12 cameras for $200 each

Amount for cameras = 12 × 200 = $2400

25 cables with length of 10 ft each cost $1.25

Amount for 10 ft cables = 25 × 1.25 = $31.25

12 ft specialty cables cost $1.75 per foot

10 of these cables will have length =12 × 10 = 120 ft

Amount for 10 of these cables = 1.75 × 120 = $210

Total for the Invoice = $2400 + $31.25 + $210

Total for the invoice = $2641.25

  • 2) 250 yards of rope costs $500.

Thus, price per yard = 500/250 = $2 per yard

For a customer that wants 15 yard;

Total for the invoice = 15 × $2 = $30

  • 3) Dump truck is rented for $275 per hour. And the minimum is 2 hours per day. This means that anything less than 1 hour, the money paid must be money for 2 hours.

Thus;

On monday; 1 hour will cost; 2 × $275 = $550

On Tuesday; 3 hours will cost; 3 × $275 = $825

On wednesday; 2hours will cost; 2 × $275 = $550

Total for the invoice = 550 + 825 + 550 = $1925
