First we have to see in both cases what is the cost of one ticket
in the fist case 12.5/5=2.5
in the second case 20.16/8=2.52
therefore 5 tickets for 12.5 is the better deal
The answer is 5 and 2/5. Hopefully it is correct!
7x+8(x+1/4) = 3(6x-9)-8
7x+8x+2 = 18x - 27 -24
15x + 2 = 18x - 51
+51 + 51
15x + 53 = 18x
-15x = -15x
53 = 3x
17.66 = x
Answer:
0.7x/0.8y = x/y * 0.7/0.8 = x/y * 0.875
So the fraction is reduced by 12.5%
