a group of 12 adults and 26 children go to a theme park . The total costs of the tickets was £1804.80. An adults ticket costs 51

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

The cost of a ticket for a child is £45.6

Step-by-step explanation:

- A group of 12 adults and 26 children go to a theme park

- The total costs of the tickets was £1804.8

- An adults ticket costs £51.6

- We need to find the cost of a ticket for a child

- Assume that the price of a ticket for a child is £x

∵ The group has 26 children

∴ The cost of children tickets = 26 × (x)

∵ The group has 12 adults

∵ The cost of the adult ticket = £51.6

∴ The cost of adult tickets = 12 × 51.6

∵ The total cost of tickets = 26 × (x) + 12 × 51.6

∴ The total cost of tickets = 26 x + 619.2

∵ The total costs of the tickets was £1804.8

- Equate the two expressions of the total cost

∴ 26 x + 619.2 = 1804.8

- Subtract 619.2 from both sides

∴ 26 x = 1185.6

- Divide both sides by 26

∴ x = 45.6

* The cost of a ticket for a child is £45.6

A textbook store sold a combined total 402 of psychology and math textbooks in a week. The number of psychology textbooks sold w

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

The number of textbooks of each type were sold is <u>134 math </u>and <u>268 psychology </u>books.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of math and psychology textbooks sold in a week is 402.

Now, let the number of math textbooks sold be $x$ .

And, the number of psychology textbooks be $2x$ .

According to question:

$x+2x=402$

$3x=402$

Dividing both sides by 3 we get:

$x=134$

So, total number of math textbooks were 134 .

And, total number of psychology textbooks were $2x=2\times 134$

$=268$ .

Therefore, the number of textbooks of each type were sold is 134 math and 268 psychology books.
