Azoo in oklahoma charged $22 for adults and $15 for children. during a summer day, 732 zoo tickets were sold, and the total receipts were $12,912. how many child and how many adult tickets were sold?

Cost of tickets for adults = $22

Cost of tickets for children = $15

Total number of tickets sold = 732

Total receipts = $12,912

Let x be number of adult ticket's sold and y be the number of child ticket's sold.

Therefore, we have:

      --------------- equation 1

Also, we have:

Now, let's substitute the value of x:

Now, let's substitute the value of y=456 in equation 1, we have:

Therefore, the number of child ticket's sold is 456 and number of adult ticket's sold is 276

c.   x=2.4cm

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.
