at a soccer stadium, a child's entrance ticket is 20% of that for an adult. a child's entrance ticket is N$ 10.00. how much does an adult entrance ticket cost?
Jess has some dogs and chickens in his house all in all there are 15 heads and 26 legs. How many dogs and chickens were there?
To find the cost of an adult entrance ticket, we first need to determine what 20% of the adult ticket price is.
Let's say the cost of an adult entrance ticket is X.
According to the given information, the child's entrance ticket is 20% of the adult ticket price. So, we can set up the equation:
20% of X = N$ 10.00
To convert the percentage to decimal form, we divide it by 100:
0.20X = N$ 10.00
Now, let's solve for X:
X = N$ 10.00 / 0.20
X = N$ 50.00
Therefore, the cost of an adult entrance ticket is N$ 50.00.
To find the cost of an adult entrance ticket, we can use the information given:
1) The child's entrance ticket is 20% of the adult's entrance ticket.
2) The cost of a child's entrance ticket is N$ 10.00.
Let's denote the cost of an adult entrance ticket as "A".
According to the given information, the child's entrance ticket is 20% of the adult's entrance ticket. Mathematically, we can represent this as:
20% of A = N$ 10.00
To find the value of 20% of A, we can divide N$ 10.00 by 20% (which is 0.20 because percentages are represented as decimals):
20% of A = N$ 10.00
0.20 * A = N$ 10.00
Now, we need to solve the equation for A. To do this, divide both sides of the equation by 0.20:
(0.20 * A) / 0.20 = (N$ 10.00) / 0.20
A = N$ 50.00
Therefore, the cost of an adult entrance ticket is N$ 50.00.
