Answer:

503 $1 tickets sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use two equations  

Let x = number of $1 tickets sold  

Let y = number of $1.50 tickets sold  

x + y = 739  

1x + (1.5)y = 857  

First equation ==> y = 739 - x  

Plug this into the second equation  

x + (1.5)(739 - x) = 857  

x + 1108.5 - 1.5x = 857  

- 0.5x = -251.5  

x = 503  

There were 503 $1 tickets sold.  

To find the number of $1.50 tickets, just plug this value of x into either one of the equations.  

(503) + y = 739       (739 - 503 = 236)

y = 236  

There were 236 $1.50 tickets sold.

3x+4y = 375
6x+ 4y= 600
-------------------
6x-3x  = 600 - 375

3x=225
x=225:3
x=75 cents

3*x+4y= 375
3*75+4y=375
225 +4y = 375
4y=375-225
4y=150
y=150:4
y=37,5 cents

the price is 75+37,5=112,5 cents for one bag of potato chips and one candy bar
