Ithought of a number, multiplied it by 2 1/2 , divided the result by 1 1/5 , subtracted 7/18 from it, and got 1 5/6 . what was my number? asap

To figure out what the number is, just do the inverse operations in the opposite order:

Start by adding 7/18 to 1 5/6, which gives you 2 2/9.

Next, multiply 2 2/9 by 1 1/5, which gives you 2 2/3.

Finally, divide 2 2/3 by 2 1/2, which gives you 1.06666...

Therefore, the number you thought of is 1.06666...

Hope this helps! :)

75 tickets have been sold so far.

step-by-step explanation:

in this question it is clearly mentioned that 45 children's tickets have been sold and this number is 60% of the total tickets sold.

now let's assume the total number of tickets sold be x.

then 60% of x = 45

⇒

⇒ x(.6) = 45

by dividing with .6 on both the sides of the equation

⇒ x = 75

therefore 75 tickets have been sold so far.
