Question

A rickshaw company counted 39 ticket receipts last week. The price for a weekday ticket is $7, and the price for a weekend ticket is $9.50. The rickshaw driver collected a total of $333 for the week. Let x represent the number of weekend tickets and y represent the number of weekday tickets. Which system of equations represents the situation

Answer 1

Answer:

x+y = 39 and 14y+19=666

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x is the no of tickets for the weekend and y for the weekday.

The price for a weekday ticket is $7, and the price for a weekend ticket is $9.50. The rickshaw driver collected a total of $333 for the week.

Equation (1) should be :

x+y = 39 (because a rickshaw company counted 39 ticket receipts last week)

Equation (b) should be :

7y+9.5=333

Multiplying both sides by 2.

14y+19=666

Hence, the two equations that represent the situation are :

x+y = 39 and 14y+19=666
