Adult tickets to a play cost $22. Tickets for children cost $15. Tickets for a group of 11 people cost $228. Write and solve a system of equations to find how many children and how many adults were in the group. (Define variables, write equations, solve, write a sentence)

Adults= 7

children= 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

Adult tickets to a play cost $22. Tickets for children cost $15

let adult be x

and children be y

so

22x+15y= 2281

x+y= 112

x= 11-y

Step two:

from 1

22(11-y)+15y= 228

242-22y+15y= 228

collect like terms

-7y= 228-242

7y= 14

divide both sides by 7

x= 2

from

x+y=11

y=11-2

y= 9

unless you made a typo, the answers are both a and c.

step-by-step explanation:

1.5/3 is .5 whereas 3/9 is .3333333 not proportional

22/33 is .66666 and 4/6 is also .66666 proportional

2/4 is .5 whereas 142/213 is .66666 not proportional

14/7 is 2 and 7/3.5 is also 2 proportional

you could've also checked it by doing this simple division:

if the larger fraction divides with the smaller fraction to equal 1, it is proportional. so let me show you what i mean:

when i divide 22/33 by 4/6 i get 1, so we know it is proportional, and it is the same with 14/7 and 7/3.5. now if i divide 3/9 by 1.5/3 i get .66666 so therefore we know it is not proportional.

there are many ways to do this so i wanted to show you some possible ways.

this is a good question! i’ll do some research and what i find, i’ll contact you asap when i have something! ✊
