Harry had 3 packages of gum. Altogether there were 24 pieces of gum. If all packages have the same
number of sticks of gum, how many sticks of gum are
on each package?

Given,

Number of pieces = 24

Number of packages = 3

Each package has the same number of pieces.

So,

Number of pieces in 1 package

= Number of pieces / Number of packages

= 24 / 3

= 8

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
