2. For a concert in a theatre, the ticket prices are in the ratio

Section A : Section B : Section C = 9 : 7 : 4.

A ticket for Section C costs N$ 60.

a) Show that a ticket for Section B costs N$ 105.

𝐵∶𝐶=7∶4

4 𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑠 = 60 ∴ 1 𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑡 = 15 ∴ 7 𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑠 = 15 × 7

b) Determine the cost of a ticket for Section A.

1 𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑡 = 15 ∴ 9 𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑠 = 9(15) = 𝑁$ 135

6. Allie is 𝑥 years old and Beatrice is 𝑦 years old.

Three times Allie’s age is equal to 5 times Beatrice’s age.

Twice Beatrice’s age is 4 years more than Allie’s age.

a) Use the information to write down two equations for 𝑥 and 𝑦.

3𝑥 = 5𝑦

2𝑦 = 𝑥 + 4 𝑂𝑅 𝑥 = 2𝑦 − 4

(2)

b) Calculate the ages of Allie and Beatrice.

3𝑥 = 5𝑦

𝑥 = 2𝑦 − 4 Substitution method

3(2𝑦 − 4) = 5𝑦

6𝑦 − 12 = 5𝑦

𝑦 = 12

∴ 3𝑥 = 5(12)

𝑥= 3
= 20

Allie is 20 years old
