Mario buys tickets for either 47 or 57 dollars. He purchases 14 tickets and spends 738 dollars. How many tickets did he purchase at each price?
1 answer:
Answer:
6 tickets were purchased at $47
8 tickets were purchased at $57
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the tickets purchased at $47 be x
Let the tickets purchased at $57 be y
We can form an equation from the question given which will be:
x + y = 14 ....... i
47x + 57y = 738 ........ ii
From equation i
x = 14 - y ........ iii
Substitute iii into ii
47x + 57y = 738
47(14-y) + 57y = 738
658 - 47y + 57y = 738
Collect like terms
-47y + 57y = 738 - 658
10y = 80
y = 80/10
y = 8
8 tickets were purchased at $57
Note that from i
x + y = 14
x + 8 = 14
x = 14 - 8
x = 6
6 tickets were purchased at $47
