Help Slut In Math

[Beer $lut]

I started home schooling through the internet before the summer and i had to do it through the summer and ive missed tons of math. So i need some help.

Heres my first problem.

Seven eigths of the ticket had been sold, and there 560 tickets left. How many tickets were printed?

 

[IDefy]

640 = answer

1/8th of 640 = 80

80x7 = 560

EDIT: ignore me. im too much of a dumbass to help

I believe Sir IDefy is right on this one ShadowFury, would like a cookie?

edit

your wrong IDefy, 7/8 of them were sold, and theres 560 left now. Meaning 560 = 1/8 of tickets printed

x = how many tickets PRINTED

x = 560 + (560X7)
= 560 + 3920
= 4480

Total of 4480 tickets were printed..

cheking for answer:

LS = RS
560 = 4480 X 1/8
560 = 4480 X 0.125
560 = 560

[IDefy]

all you have to do is take 7/8 * 640 and you get 560 it's not that hard lol you messed it up

 

[Korittke]

How many tickets were printed? All. All is unknown, we call it X.
X = 8/8x = 1x ^= all
7/8x = X - 1/8
1/8x = 560 |*8
1/8x*8 = 8/8x = 560*8 = 4480 = X
4480 tickets were printed.
That is the highly extended version to understand with very basic knowledge of maths.
IDefy, you're wrong btw. 7/8th were sold, this means 1/8th equals the remaining 560.

 

[Aternyth]

yea im a dumbass :/

 

[IDefy]

How many tickets were printed? All. All is unknown, we call it X.
X = 8/8x = 1x ^= all
7/8x = X - 1/8
1/8x = 560 |*8
1/8x*8 = 8/8x = 560*8 = 4480 = X
4480 tickets were printed.

What the...? 4490 is not 8/8 when 7/8 is 560 rofl

WOW

 

[Korittke]

Seven eigths of the ticket had been sold, and there [are] 560 tickets left.

"7/8 is 560"
And I thought Germans sucked at reading comprehension. (refer to PISA)

 

[Ntrik_]

IDefy, you misread question

560 = 1/8

Like he said, 7/8 of tickets has been sold

And theres were only 560 tickets left. Meaning 560 is the other 1/8

Seven eigths of the ticket had been sold, and there 560 tickets left. How many tickets were printed?

Can be also written as:

7/8 of tickets had been sold, and theres only 560 tickets left. How many tickets were printed?

And Korritte, you've made the whole question too complicated, I dont think those steps are necessary, all you have to do was just put 560 + (560X7)

 

[IDefy]

This is a perfectly good example of why I hate word problems. At least I was right in the way I thought it was supposed to be. Blonde moment.

...I hope you're not going to need help for every problem because your homework will take hours.

 

[Beer $lut]

N_is correct.

Damn i didnt think i would get so many responses so fast. Ill post another in a second.

Yes i do.

"If the sum of three numbers is 495 and the first two numbers are 101.7 and 173.8, what is the average of the three numbers?"

 

[Korittke]

"If the sum of three numbers is 495 and the first two numbers are 101.7 and 173.8, what is the average of the three numbers?"

haahhahaa, shut up already. It's not like 1st April or whatever the ****.

 

[_CM]

omg no thats too difficult , sry :usad

 

[Ntrik_]

Yes i do.

"If the sum of three numbers is 495 and the first two numbers are 101.7 and 173.8, what is the average of the three numbers?"

Ill do this one for you since Im bored, but I have feeling your just lazy enough not to do this, because this is like things I did in gr 4~6

495 = 101.7 + 173.8 + x
495 = 275.5 + x
495 - 275.5 = x
x = 219.5

(219.5 + 101.7 + 173.8) / 3
= 495/3
= 165 <-- answer

 

[Korittke]

you've made the whole question too complicated,

this is also why i urged him to shut up. all he wanted was to trick YOU into doing this fat thing of math which you couldve done in one line.

 

[_CM]

sir N_, what about skipping, the whole "find the third number"-part? :rolleyes
