The answer is Inductive Reasoning
Answer: The number of $12 tickets and $15 sold are 120 and 180 respectively.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation is:
12x + 15y = 4140 .....(1)
Where,
x stands for $12 tickets and y stands for $15 tickets
According to the question:
x + y = 300 ....(2)
Now solving equation 1 and 2.
From equation 2:
x = 300 - y
Now putting this expression in equation 1.
12x + 15y = 4140
12(300 - y) + 15y = 4140
3600 - 12y + 15y = 4140
3600 + 3y = 4140
3y = 4140 - 3600
3y = 540
y = 180
And,
x = 300 - y = 300 - 180 = 120
The number of $12 tickets sold = x = 120
The number of $15 tickets sold = y = 180
Thus, the number of $12 tickets and $15 sold are 120 and 180 respectively.
You can find how many he gets for each dog.
For example, let's pretend Juan gets $3 for each dog to walk, then he would've walked 4 dogs. But in this real problem we don't know how much he gets for each dog.
So, you can find the amount of money Juan saved by knowing how much is for each dog walked.
