Given :

Ms. Hart's brother lives 1,400 miles away. Ms. Hart won a gift card for 100 gallons of gas. If her car can travel 33 miles on each gallon.

To Find :

Can she drive round trip to see her brother on the free gas.

Solution :

Total distance she has to cover, D = 2×1400 = 2800 miles.

Distance he can travel in 100 gallons of gas , d = 100×33 = 3300 miles.

Since, d > D .

Therefore, yes she can drive round trip on the free gas.

Hence, this is the required solution.

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.
