Question

You purchase 26 “parking hours” that you can use over the next month to park your food truck at the fair. Weekday hours costs $2/hour and weekend hours cost $10/hour. You spent a total of $220. How many weekday hours did you purchase?

Answer 1

Answer: 5

Step-by-step explanation:

weekday hours x*2

weekend hours y*10

x+y=26

2x+10y=220

----------------------

x=26-y

2(26-y)+10y=220

52-2y+10y=220

8y=220-52

8y=168

y=168/8

y=21

x=26-21=5

x=5
