Answer:
(25,18) is the required solution.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
Let x be the number of trips to the airport and y represent the number of trips from the airport.
Total number of fares to and from the airport = 43
Thus, we can write the equation:
Price for a ride to the airport = $12
Price for a ride from the airport = $10
Total amount collected by the driver = $480
Thus, we can write the equation:
Solving the two equations, we get,
Thus, the driver made 25 trips to the airport and 18 trips from the airport.
The solution can be represented as (25,18)
To divide fractions, you need to multiply by the reciprocal. The reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3, which is why the work is incorrect.
