Assign variables to you unknowns.
c = $ cars
t = $ trucks
6c + 3t = 4800
8c + t = 4600
use substitution or elimination to solve the system of equations.
using elimination.. multiply second equation by -3 and add to the other to combine equations into one.
6c + 3t = 4800
-3(8c + t = 4600)
---------------------------
-18c + 0 = -9000
c = 9000/18
c = 500 $
use this in one of the equations to find the cost of a truck.
8(500) + t = 4600
4000 + t = 4600
t = 4600 - 4000
t = 600 $
question asks
2(500) + 3(600) =
1000 + 1800 = 2800 $
First, make up some variables to represent the number of Girls and Boys in the choir.
B = number of boys
G = number of girls
You know that there are 4 times as many girls in the choir as boys. Therefore, the equation you can write is:

If you cross-multiply, then you get the simplified equation:
G = 4B
Intuitively this makes sense since if you multiplied the number of boys in the class by 4, that would be equal to the number of girls you have.
Now, we know that the total class size is 60. So girls plus boys equals 60:
G+B = 60
To solve the equation, replace the G in this equation with the replacement you found before, 4B.
G + B = 60 -->
4B + B = 60 -->
5B = 60 -->
B = 12
However, you are trying to find the number of girls, so plug the answer back into your equation.
G + B = 60 -->
G + 12 = 60 -->
G + 12 -12 = 60 - 12 -->
G = 48
The number of girls you have is 48.
