Answer 1

what grade of math are u in?

Answer 2

7th

Answer 3

y

Answer 4

A. you would put in 213 for the cost and subtract 2.50 from each side then divide by 1.25

Answer 5

so 168.4?

Answer 6

yes.

Answer 7

ok wat about the others?

Answer 8

okay so B. you would multiply 1.25 and 213 and hen add 2.50

Answer 9

so,268.25?

Answer 10

yes.. thats what i got.

Answer 11

ok and c

Answer 12

okay C. i don't get. are u sure u spelled everything right?

Answer 13

yes i spelled everything right

Answer 14

Is this the equation ?
C = 1.25N + 250 or is it 2.50 ?
C = cost
N = number of tickets
Wouldn't the total amount collected be the same as the cost ?
The T = 4N is confusing me. Are the tickets 1.25 each or 4.00 each ?

Answer 15

the tickets r worth 4.00

Answer 16

250 and the tickets are 4.00 but the theater is charging the drama club 1.25 for each ticket sold

Answer 17

I am having trouble understanding this question

Answer 18

yea and y did u delete it?

Answer 19

Because I am confused......with the T and the C ?

Answer 20

C is the total cost for the drama club to put on the play and T is the total amount collected from ticket sales

Answer 21

Let me try again.....
(a) C = 1.25N + 250
C = 1.25(213) + 250
C = 266.25 + 250
C = 516.25
(b) T = 4N
T = 4(213)
T = 852
(c) Drama's club profit is 852 - 516.25 = 335.75
(d) T = 4N
780 = 4N
780/4 = N
195 = N
(e) C = 1.25N + 250
C = 1.25(195) + 250
C = 243.75 + 250
C = 493.75

I am still a little confused, so you might want to get a second opinion on this

Answer 22

@Opcode ....this is really messing with my brain...help

Answer 23

@Mertsj ....can you take a peek at this....I am confused

Answer 24

This should be easy and I don't know why it is confusing me :(

Answer 25

A is correct that I'm sure of.

Answer 26

On B are the tickets $4 or $1.25 ?

Answer 27

I agree with you on B.
Because it says:
*T=4N
T=total amount collected N=#of tickets

Answer 28

1.25

Answer 29

i mean 4

Answer 30

B. Total=4n
If 213 tickets are sold, total collected is 4 x 213

Answer 31

C. to get profit or loss subtract cost from sales. In other words, subtract the answer to a from the answer to b

Answer 32

D. T = 4n
If T = 780 replace T with 780 and solve that equation

Answer 33

E. Take the answer to d and put it into the cost equation: C=1.25n+250

Answer 34

thank you so much @Mertsj ...your a lifesaver

Answer 35

yw

Answer 36

We got it @Giant_Cupcake ........I don't know why I was so confused on that

Answer 37

yes but on e its 493.75?

Answer 38

yes

Answer 39

ok thank you so much

Answer 40

yw

Answer 41

Let me check again....
C = 1.25N + 250
C = 1.25(195) + 250
C = 243.75 + 250 = 493.75
thats what I got :)

Answer 42

@Mertsj is the best....so is @Opcode

Answer 43

theres a f and a g will u guys help

Answer 44

I will give it a try

Answer 45

ok.
f. how many tickets does the drama club need to sell to break even?
g. the drama club would like to earn a profit of $500 from the play. how many tickets need to be sold for the club to meet this goal?

Answer 46

Lets figure this out......Is it only costing the drama club $ 250 ?

Answer 47

no props cost $250 and the theater is charging $1.25 for each ticket sold and each ticket costs $4.00

Answer 48

1.25N + 250 = 4N
250 = 4N - 1.25N
250 = 2.75N
250/2.75 = 2.75N/2.75
90.91 = N (round to 91)

check...
1.25(91) + 250 = 4(91)
113.75 + 250 = 364
363.75 = 364

I am not sure...I must be doing something wrong because I am a quarter off.
You are probably going to have to ask someone else....I am sorry

Answer 49
