Sam subtracted 5 from the quotient of a number and 3. Write an algebraic expression to represent the operations that Sam preformed

(x/3) - 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

The quotient of the number and 3 is x/3.

So the expression is:

(x/3) - 5.

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.
