You buy 3 tickets for $48 total for the jazz concert on friday night. your friend buys 2 tickets for $36 total for the jazz concert on saturday night. your brother collected $96 from his friends to buy 6 tickets. which night can they go to the concert? did they buy the less expensive tickets? explain.

I bought = 3 tickets for $48 for Friday So, 48/3 = $16/ticket My friend bought = 2 tickets for $36 for Saturday So, 36/2 = $18/per ticket My brother collected $96 to buy 6 tickets. So, 96/6 = $16/ticket They can go to concert on Friday as on Friday ticket is $16 as my brother collected $96 from 6 people = $16 per person. Yes, they buy the less expensive ticket, as for Saturday ticket price is $18 and they bought ticket for Friday which is priced at $16.

Best answer that i found on yahoo ok   set :   x= length of 2nd piece in cm  x- 3= length of 1st piece in cm  x-4= length of 3rd piece in cm  then since you know they all came from the 20 cm ribbon you add them together and set them equal to 20x+ x-3 +x-4 = 20  3x - 7= 20  3x= 27  x= 9  the shortest piece is the third piece which is x- 4  x-4  9-4 = 5  the length of the smallest piece is 5 cm.  the other lengths are  9 cm  6 cm
