Answer:

The number of trucks and sedans can be

(0 trucks ,26 sedans)

(8 trucks ,21 sedans)

(24 trucks ,11 sedans)

(25 trucks ,1 sedans)

(32 trucks ,6 sedans)

(16 trucks ,16 sedans)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The  cost for trucks =$5

The cost for sedans  =$8

The total amount collected = $208

To Find:

Number of trucks and sedans passed through the toll booth =?

Solution:

Let the number of trucks be x and the number of sedans be y

Then

5x + 8y = 208-------------------------------(1)

By Trail and error method

5(0) + 8(26) = 208

5(8) + 8(21) = 208

5(24) +8(11) =208

5(25) + 8(1) = 208

5(32) + 8(6) =208

5(16) + 8(16) = 208

The total area is given by:
 A1 = (300) * (500)
 A1 = 150000 feet ^ 2
 The area occupied by 5 people is:
 A2 = (5) * (5)
 A2 = 25 feet ^ 2
 Then, we can make the following rule of three:
 5 --------> 25
 x --------> 150000
 Clearing x we have:
 x = (150000/25) * (5)
 x = 30000
