Answer:
98.5537
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say the cost of student tickets is x and the cost of adult tickets is y. Then:
(1) 12y + 6x = 138
(2) 5y + 11x = 100
If we rearrange equation (1) we get:
12y = 138 - 6x
Now divide each side by 12:
y = 11.5 - 0.5x
We can now substitute this into equation (2):
5(11.5 - 0.5x) + 11x = 100
57.5 - 2.5x + 11x = 100
8.5x = 42.5
x = 5, therefor the cost of a student ticket is $5.00
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Charges up to 20 passengers = $540 per person per day
Total charges = 540 × 20 = $10800
If x passengers above 20 sign up for the cruise then total number of passengers = (20 + x)
Total revenue = $(20+x)
But each fare is reduced by $7 for additional passenger above 20 then revenue generated R(x) = 540(20+x) - 7x
R(x) = 10800 + 540x - 7x
R(x) = 10800 + 533x
a). Revenue per day realized R = 10800 + 533x
b). R(48) = 10800 + 48×533
= $36,384
C). R(78) = 10800 + 78×543
= $53,154
