How many coach tickets did she​ buy?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

c + f = 16......c = 16 - f

340c + 910f = 9430

340(16 - f) + 910f = 9430

5440 - 340f + 910f = 9430

-340f + 910f = 9430 - 5440

570f = 3990

f = 3990/570

f = 7 <====== 7 first class tickets bought

c + f = 16

c + 7 = 16

c = 16 - 7

c = 9 <====== 9 coach tickets bought
