3(y+5)=8y
Solving linear equations

y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation, we will use conventional algebraic techniques as illustrated below.

3(y + 5) = 8y Distribute the 3.

3y + 15 = 8y Subtract 3y from both sides.

15 = 5y Rearrange the equation so the variable is on the left.

5y = 15 Divide by 5 on both sides.

y = 3

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.

to determine the unit cost your would divide the total cost by the number sold.
