A soccer team sold raffle tickets to raise money for the upcoming season. They sold three different types of tickets: premium for $6, deluxe for $4, and regular for $2. The total number of tickets sold was 273, and the total amount of money from raffle tickets was $836. If 118 more regular tickets were sold than deluxe tickets, how many premium tickets were sold?

45 premium tickets were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

p = premium

d = deluxe

r = regular

p+d+r = 273

6p+4d + 2r = 836

118+d = r

Replace r with 118+d

p+d+118+d = 273

p +2d = 273-118

p+2d = 155

6p+4d + 2(118+d) = 836

6p+4d + 236+2d = 836

6p +6d = 836-236

6p + 6d = 600

Divide by 6

p+d = 100

d = 100-p

Replace d in p +2d= 155

p +2(100-p) = 155

p+200-2p = 155

-p = 155-200

-p =-45

p =45

45 premium tickets were sold

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."
