18% of $28.00=__
the total cost will be __

Answer 1

mrs franks is taking her kindergarten class to the circus she spent a total of $180 for 20 child tickets. if a child is $5 less than an adult ticket determine the price of an adult and child ticket represent this situation with an equation using m as the cost of the adult ticket

Answer 2

To calculate the 18% tip on a food total of $28.00:

1. First, calculate 18% of $28.00:
\[
18\% \text{ of } 28 = 0.18 \times 28 = 5.04
\]

2. Now, add the tip to the original food total to find the total cost:
\[
\text{Total cost} = \text{Food total} + \text{Tip} = 28.00 + 5.04 = 33.04
\]

So, the 18% tip on $28.00 is **$5.04**, and the total cost including the tip will be **$33.04**.

If you meant to refer to a 15% tip instead, please clarify, and I can calculate that for you as well!

Answer 3

Let's define the variables based on the information provided:

- Let \( m \) be the cost of an adult ticket.
- Then, the cost of a child ticket is \( m - 5 \) (since a child ticket is $5 less than an adult ticket).

Mrs. Franks bought 20 child tickets for a total of $180. We can set up the equation based on this information:

\[
\text{Total cost for child tickets} = \text{Number of child tickets} \times \text{Cost of a child ticket}
\]

Substituting the known values into the equation gives us:

\[
20 \times (m - 5) = 180
\]

To solve for \( m \), we can start by simplifying this equation:

1. Distribute the 20:
\[
20m - 100 = 180
\]

2. Add 100 to both sides:
\[
20m = 280
\]

3. Divide by 20:
\[
m = 14
\]

Now that we know the cost of an adult ticket:
- The cost of an adult ticket (\( m \)) is **$14**.
- The cost of a child ticket (\( m - 5 \)) is:
\[
14 - 5 = 9
\]
So, the cost of a child ticket is **$9**.

**Summary:**
- Adult ticket price: **$14**
- Child ticket price: **$9**
