Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us represent
The number of Box seats = x
The number of grandstand seats = y
The number of bleacher seats cost = z
A minor league baseball park has 6800 seats.
Hence,
x + y + z = 6800
Box seats cost $19, grandstand seats cost $9, and bleacher seats cost $4. When all seats are sold, the revenue is $61200.
Hence:
$19 × x + $9 × y + $4 × z = $61200
19x + 9y + 4 z = 61200
If the number of bleacher seats is 2 times the number of box seats
z = 2x
Hence we substitute
x + y + z = 6800
x + y + 2x = 6800
3x + y = 6800.... Equation 3
y = 6800 - 3x
For Equation 2, substituting 2x for z
19x + 9y + 4z = 61200
19x + 9y + 4(2x) = 61200
19x + 9y + 8x = 61200
27x + 9y = 61200...... Equation 4
Combining Equation 3 and 4
3x + y = 6800.... Equation 3
27x + 9y = 61200...... Equation 4
Note that:
y = 6800 - 3x
We substitute the above in Equation 4
27x + 9(6800 - 3x) = 61200
27x + 61200 - 27x = 61200
Box seats:_______ Grandstand seats:_______ Bleacher seats:______
