  1. Answer:

    4 ; 24

    Step-by-step explanation:

    A.)

    Fixed fee, x = $5

    Hourly rate, y = $3

    Total rent fee, t= $17

    Number of rent hours :

    $17 = $5 + $3y

    17 – 5 = 3y

    12 = 3y

    y = 12/3

    y = 4 hours

    B.)

    Total Number of tickets , t = 97

    Tickets per student, r = 4

    Tickets left = 1

    Number of students in class:

    (97 – 1) / 4

    96 /4

    = 24 students
