A group of adults (x) and kids (y) go to the theater.
There are two fewer adults
than kids. Adult tickets
cost $6 each and kid
tickets cost $2.50 each.
The total cost for the group
was $39.00 How many
kids and adults were
there

step-by-step explanation:

(s)he  is right it would be 5.5% because it is smaller than 15.5% or anything smaller than 15.5% in general

answer: 1) twenty-seven times y

              2) twenty-seven multiplied by y

step-by-step explanation:

the multiplicative inverse of a fraction a/b is b/a. for the multiplicative inverse of a real number, divide 1 by the number. for example, the reciprocal of 5 is one fifth 1/5 or 0.2, and the reciprocal of 0.25 is 1 divided by 0.25, or 4.
