Fun Zone charges an entrance fee of $4.50 and $0.65 per ticket. Happy
Town charges $0.40 per ticket and a
$5.00 entrance fee. How many
tickets must be purchased in order
for the total to be the same at both
Fun Zone and Happy Town?

2 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

To be the same they must equal each other.

4.50 + 0.65x = 0.40x + 5

isolate the variable

subtract 4.50 from both sides

0.65x = 0.40x + 0.50

subtract 0.40x from both sides

0.25x = 0.50

divide both sides by 0.25

x = 0.50 ÷ 0.25

x = 2

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.

3. solve the system of two equations:

-232
