Sheldon gets paid $4 per hour to babysit his cousin. This weekend, he babysat on both Saturday and Sunday. He
made a total of $56. Sheldon babysat for 8 hours on
Sunday. For how many hours did he babysit on Saturday?
Let x = hours spent babysitting on Saturday. Choose the equation and
solution steps that correctly represent this problem.

6

Step-by-step explanation:

4 times 8 = 32. 56 - 32 = 24. 24 divided by 4 = 6.

tickets for the harlem globetrotters

show at michigan state university in

2010 cost $16, $23, or, for vip seats, $40.

total revenue = 16x + 23y + 40z

if 9 times as many $16 tickets were sold

as vip tickets,

x = 9z => x – 9z = 0, if 9 times as many $16 tickets were sold

as vip tickets,

x = 9z => x – 9z = 0, sales of all three kinds of tickets would

total $46,575.

16x + 23y + 40z = 46575, how many of each kind of ticket would

have been sold?

solve for x, y and z

x − 9z = 0

x − y − z = 55

16x + 23y + 40z = 46575

x = 1170

y = 985

z = 130
