Ticket Dimes 54B0D0
1. **Problem 1: Tickets sold at the door**
Tickets cost 4 in advance or 5 at the door. No tickets were sold in advance, total sales were 440. Find how many tickets were sold at the door.
2. **Formulate the equation:**
Let $x$ be the number of tickets sold at the door.
Since no tickets were sold in advance, total sales come only from door tickets:
$$5x = 440$$
3. **Solve the equation:**
Divide both sides by 5:
$$x = \frac{440}{5} = 88$$
4. **Answer:**
88 tickets were sold at the door.
5. **Problem 2: Number of dimes in piggy bank**
Piggy bank has dimes and quarters. Total value is 11.40. Karen has 36 quarters. Find number of dimes.
6. **Formulate the equation:**
Let $d$ be the number of dimes.
Value of quarters: $0.25 \times 36 = 9$
Value of dimes: $0.10d$
Total value:
$$0.10d + 9 = 11.40$$
7. **Solve the equation:**
Subtract 9 from both sides:
$$0.10d = 11.40 - 9 = 2.40$$
Divide both sides by 0.10:
$$d = \frac{2.40}{0.10} = 24$$
8. **Answer:**
Karen has 24 dimes.
