Set up a proportion.
2/3 = 12/x. Cross multiply the proportion.
2x = 36. Solve for x.
x = 18.
it hasn't been specified which ticket the question's is asking but I'm guessing the price of the adult ones so $30.00
altogether that's two adults and 3 children who all paid a total of $105.00
let's simplify that to algebra
children tickets = c adults tickets = a
3c + 2a = $105.00
we know that 1c is 0.5a because each child ticket is half of an adults one <em>as stated in the question</em>
so in terms of (adults) a: half of 3 meaning 3×0.5= $1.5 meaning 1.5a
so now <em>3c = 1.5a</em>
so we can substitute and have like terms
meaning 1.5a + 2a= $105
3.5a =$105.00
divide by 3.5 on both sides to get a by itself thus the value of a:
a = $30
so each adult tickets cost $30
Answer:
$2.35
Step-by-step explanation:
Nickels are worth 5 cents each and quarters are worth 25 cents.
7 nickels = 7 * 5 cents = 35 cents
8 quarters = 8 * 25 cents = 200 cents
Total = 200 + 35 = 235 cents
There are 100 cents per dollar, so we can find the dollar value by:
235/100 = $2.35
