Problem 91
Bea Steadfast was trying to figure out a
number using the following clue: 1/3 of the
number is three more than 1/4 of the number.
What is the number?
Please and thank you

  36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n represent the number. Then the given relationship is ...

  1/3n = 3 + 1/4n

  1/12n = 3 . . . . . . . subtract 1/4n

  n = 36 . . . . . . . . . multiply by 12

The number is 36.

tickets for the harlem globetrotters

show at michigan state university in

2010 cost $16, $23, or, for vip seats, $40.

total revenue = 16x + 23y + 40z

if 9 times as many $16 tickets were sold

as vip tickets,

x = 9z => x – 9z = 0, if 9 times as many $16 tickets were sold

as vip tickets,

x = 9z => x – 9z = 0, sales of all three kinds of tickets would

total $46,575.

16x + 23y + 40z = 46575, how many of each kind of ticket would

have been sold?

solve for x, y and z

x − 9z = 0

x − y − z = 55

16x + 23y + 40z = 46575

x = 1170

y = 985

z = 130
