Answer:

Prize money = (1/4)×(20a+10s)

Step-by-step explanation:

In a more readable format:

[tex]M = \frac{1}{4} (20a+10s) = \frac{(20a+10s)}{4}[/tex]

Because 20a+10s represents the total amount of money collected. You divide it by four to get 25%.

Ansor:

[tex]\frac{A + S}{0.25}[/tex]

lep-by-rep explinayshun:

to make this simple, lets say only two tickets were sold, one an adult ticket and one a student ticket, then the following applies:

A = $20             S = $10

25% of A ($20) = $5

25% of S ($10) = $2.5

A ($20) + S ($10) = $30

25% of $30 = $7.5

$5 + $2.5 = $7.5

25.0% = 0.25 to convert a percentage to a decimal just move the decimal from the right side two numbers over to the left. then take away the percent sign

so then A ($20) + S($10)       =  $7.5

                    0.25                  

remember, this explanation is for if only 1 adult ticket and 1 student ticket sold. for the actual equation that represents how much money the winner gets after x amout of tickets are sold, look at the equation at the top under Ansor
