Answer:

219

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of full price tickets and y be student/ senior number , then

x + y = 465 → (1)

10x + 8y = 4212 → (2)

Multiplying (1) by - 10 and adding to (2) will eliminate x

- 10x - 10y = - 4650 → (3)

Add (2) and (3) term by term to eliminate x

0 - 2y = -438

- 2y = - 438 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

y = 219

The number of senior/ student tickets sold was 219

Hello!

*I'm not very good at algebra, so I am not 100% sure this is correct!*

w = cost of washer

d = cost of dryer

w + d = $586

w = d - 64

d - 64 + d = 586

2d = 586 + 64

2d = 650

d = 650 / 2 = 325

586 - 325 = 261

Check 325 - 261 = 64

So, the dryer costs $325 and because the washer is $64 less than the dryer, it costs $261.
