Step-by-step explanation:
$20/hr carpenter pay
$25/hr blacksmith pay
Let c = hours working carpentry
Let b = hours working as blacksmith
c + b = 30 {equation 1}
20c + 25b = 690 {equation 2}
In equation 1 solve for one variable in terms of the other.
c = 30-b
Substitute that into equation 2:
20(30-b) + 25b = 690
600 - 20b + 25b = 690
5b = 90
b = 90/5
b = 18 hours working as a blacksmith
c = 30-b = 30-18 = 12 hours as a carpenter
First, we must let:
x = number of tickets intended for adults
y = number of tickets intended for children.
a. Write in terms of x the number of tickets for children
Solution:
x + y = 28 ⇔ y = 28 - x (equation 1)
To answer in terms of x:
no. of tickets for tickets for children = 28 - x
b. the amount spent on tickets for adults
Solution: $30 is the cost of ticket per adult and there are x number of tickets intended for adults.
Therefore,
amount spent on ticket for adults = 30x
c. the amount spent on the tickets.
Solution:
$ 15 = cost of ticket per child
$ 30 = cost of ticket per adult
total amount spent on tickets = 30x + 15y ⇒ (equation2)
substitute equation 1 to equation 2.
(equation 1) y = 28 - x
(equation 2) total amount spent on tickets = 30x + 15y
total amount spent on tickets = 30x + 15(28-x)
total amount spent on tickets = 30x + 420 - 15x
total amount spent on tickets = 15x + 420
