Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of sales each man had.
For Salesman A, he earns $65 per sale; this is 65x.
For Salesman B, he earns $40 per sale; this is 40x. We also add to this his weekly salary of $300; this gives us 40x+300.
Since their pay was equal, set the two expressions equal:
65x = 40x+300
Subtract 40x from each side:
65x-40x = 40x+300-40x
25x = 300
Divide both sides by 25:
25x/25 = 300/25
x = 12
Let x = number of adult tickets, and y = number of children tickets. One equation must deal with the number of tickets, and the other equation must deal with the revenue from the tickets.
Then x + y = 300 is the number of tickets
12x + 8y = 3280 is the revenue from the tickets.
Using the substitution method:
x + y = 300 ⇒ y = 300 - x ⇒ Equation (3)
12x + 8y = 3280 ⇒ 12x + 8(300-x) = 3280 ⇒ x = 220
y = 300 - x ⇒ y = 300-220 ⇒ 80
Therefore 220 adult tickets and 80 children's tickets were sold.
