the cost of a ticket to the circus if $23 for children and $48 for adults. on a certain day at the circus the attendance was 1,100 and the total gate revenue was $45,300. How many children and adults bought tickets?

Step-by-step explanation:

Let adults = a and children = c,

(1) a + c = 1100

(2) 48a + 23c = 45300

From the (1) equation, a = 1100 - c

Then substitute a = 1100 - c into (2),

48(1100 - c) + 23c = 45300

52800 - 48c +23c = 45300

-25c = -7500

c = 300

Substitute c = 1500 into a = 1100 - c,

a = 1100 - 300

a = 800

Therefore, 800 adults and 300 children bought the tickets

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
