Jaxson and his children went into a movie theater and he bought $42.50 worth of drinks and candies. Each drink costs $6 and each candy costs $3.25. He bought a total of 8 drinks and candies altogether. Write a system of equations that could be used to determine the number of drinks and the number of candies that Jaxson bought.

6x + 3.25y = 42.50

x + y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

x is the amount of drinks, and y represents the amount of candies that are bought. The first equation is used to figure out the amount of candies and drinks needed to be bought to add up to 42.50, and the second equation is used to make sure that the quantity of drinks and candies add up to 8.

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.

so far i think you have the right thing going for you just remember soh cah toh
