There are 2 types of tickets to attend an awards dinner—silver and gold. The gold tickets are $8 more than the silver. If Patrick bought 10 tickets at each level and spent a total of $140, find the price of each ticket.(1 point)

Question

$. for each silver ticket and $. for each gold ticket

Answer 1

Let's assume the price of a silver ticket is x.
According to the problem, the price of a gold ticket is x + $8.
Patrick bought 10 silver tickets and 10 gold tickets, so he spent 10x and 10(x + $8) on silver and gold tickets, respectively.
The total amount spent on tickets is $140, so we can write the equation:
10x + 10(x + $8) = $140
Expanding and combining like terms, we get:
10x + 10x + $80 = $140
20x + $80 = $140
Subtracting $80 from both sides, we get:
20x = $60
Dividing both sides by 20, we get:
x = $3
Therefore, the price of each silver ticket is $3, and the price of each gold ticket is $3 + $8 = $11.

Answer 2

Kendra is making bread, but the recipe she’s using makes 4 loaves. She only wants to make one loaf. The changed recipe calls for 212 cups of flour and sugar combined. If the original recipe calls for 2 cups of sugar, find the amount of flour (in cups) in the original recipe.(1 point)
cups

Answer 3

Since the recipe calls for a total of 212 cups of flour and sugar combined, we can subtract the amount of sugar from this total to find the amount of flour.

Since we know the original recipe calls for 2 cups of sugar, we have 212 cups - 2 cups = 210 cups of flour.

Therefore, the original recipe calls for 210 cups of flour.
