Mia, jade, and Amelia sell car wash tickets. Jade sells 8 more tickets then Mia. Amelia sells twice as many tickets as Mia. The friends sell a total of 296 tickets. How many tickets does each friend sell?

Mia sold 72 tickets, Jade sold 80 tickets, and Amelia sold 144 tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this question by coming up with equations for each friend and then substituting them into the equation M + J + A = 296

Jade sells 8 more tickets than Mia, so Jade's equation for how many tickets she sold is the amount of tickets that Mia sold + 8:

J = M + 8

Amelia sells twice as many tickets as Mia, so her equation is the amount of tickets Mia sold * 2:

A = 2 * M

Now we can substitute these equations into the overall one.

M + (M + 8) + (2M) = 296

Now we can combine like terms and solve for M.

2M + 8 + 2M = 296

4M + 8 = 296

4M = 288

M = 72

We now have the amount of tickets Mia sold, so we can insert this number into the equations for Amelia and Jade.

J = M + 8

J = 72 + 8

J = 80

A = M * 2

A = 72 * 2

A = 144

So Mia sold 72 tickets, Jade sold 80 tickets, and Amelia sold 144 tickets.

answer: a.

step-by-step explanation: the answer is a. because, you need to converge the fractions to find a solution.

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have
