Answer: B. y=2/5 x

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer the question we have to analyze the information given:

  • <em>2 out of every 5 balloons are red </em>
  • <em>Number of balloons: x </em>
  • <em>Number of red balloons: y </em>

Since 2 out of every 5 balloons are red, the ratio for red balloons is equal to 2/5. if we multiply that ration by the number of balloons he uses (x), we will obtain the number of red balloons (y).

Mathematically speaking:

y=2/5 x

The correct option is B.

Tickets to a musical cost $30 for adults and $12 for children. At one particular performance 960 people attended and $19 080 was
postnew [5]
In order to solve this, you have to set up a systems of linear equations.

Let's say that children = c and adults = a

30a + 12c = 19,080
a + c = 960

I'm going to show you how to solve this system of linear equations by substitution, the easiest way to solve in my opinion.

   a + c = 960 
       - c    -    c
 ---------------------- ⇒ Step 1: Solve for either a or c in either equation.
   a = 960 - c 



20(960 - c)+ 12c = 19,080
19,200 - 20c + 12c = 19,080
   19,200 - 8c = 19,080
 - 19,200         - 19,200
---------------------------------- ⇒ Step 2: Substitute in the value you got for a or c
         8c = -120                    into the opposite equation.                                                
       ------  ---------
          8         8
 
         c = -15



30a + 12(-15) = 19,080
   30a - 180 = 19,080
          + 180  +     180
 -------------------------------
   30a = 19,260
  -------   -----------
    30          30
     
       a = 642

I just realized that there can't be a negative amount of children, so I'm sorry if these results are all wrong.

2 digit number starts from 10 ends at 99

between 10 and 19 there is only one number whose tens digit is more than ones digit.

that is 10

between 20 and 29 there are two numbers

20 and 21

like the same

between 30 and 39 there are 3 numbers

10–19. 1

20–29. 2

30–39. 3

40–49. 4

50–59. 5

60–69. 6
