Question

So I got it wrong in my homework how do i translate it? ​

Answer 1

To translate something:

⇒ is to write out the equations

Let's examine what information this problem gives us:

• Mrs. Albert has $400 ⇒ Total money = 400
• Mrs. Albert bought two adult tickets at $62.50 each

⇒ with '2' being the number of adults tickets

⇒total charge from purchasing adult tickets = 2 * 62.5 = 125

• Each child ticket costs $42.5

⇒ with 'x' being the number of child tickets bought

⇒total charge from purchasing child tickets = 42.5x

Since the sum of total charge from purchasing adult tickets and total charge from purchasing child tickets is equal to 400:

⇒ 42.5x + 125 = 400 <== translated form

Let's solve:

`42.5x+125=400\\42.5x=275\\x=6.47`

Since we can only buy whole tickets:

Mrs. Albert could have bought at most 6 child tickets

Answer: Mrs. Albert can bring 6 kids

Hope that helps!
