for every 5 people who bought $9.75 tickets to the football game, 3 people bought $14.50 tickets. If each of 35 people bought a $9.75 ticket, how many people bought the more expensive ticket?

9514 1404 393

  21

Step-by-step explanation:

The number who bought expensive tickets is 3/5 of the number who bought cheap tickets.

  (3/5)(35) = 21

21 people bought the more expensive ticket.

21 people

Step-by-step explanation:

       $9.75      $14.50

  5 people to 3 people

 35 people to ? people

consider the proportions: 5/3 = 35/?

we need the equivalent fraction of 5/3 that has 35 on the denominator

so 5/3 = (5/3)(7/7)  because 7/7 =1, and 5*3 =35

5/3 = 5*7/3*7 = 35/21

the inequality is:

250c+180g≥950

step-by-step explanation:

let c denotes the number of days in a week   miyoko worked as a cryptographer.

and g denotes the number of days in a week she works as a geologist.

now we are given that she earns $250 for every day she works as a cryptographer,and earns $180 for every day she works as a geologist.

now miyoko's goal is to earn more than $950 this week.

hence, the inequality could be represented as:

250c+180g≥950
