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
To make the equation easier so that you don't have to use fractions.
