Answer:

y = 220

x = 100

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 320

8x + 5y = 1900

x = 320 - y

8(320 - y) + 5y = 1900

2560 - 8y + 5y = 1900

2560 -3y = 1900

-2560        -2560

-------------------------

   -3y = -660

   -----    -------

    -3        -3

      y = 220

x + 220 = 320

    -220   -220

----------------------

        x = 100

Answer:

x + y = 320

8x + 5y = 1900

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation x + y = 320 represents how 320 tickets were sold in total, from combining the adult and child tickets sold.

Since adult tickets are $8 each, the money from adult ticket sales can be represented by 8x.

The money from child ticket sales can be represented by 5y.

The equation 8x + 5y = 1900 represents how $1900 worth of tickets were sold.

So, the system of equations for the situation is:

x + y = 320

8x + 5y = 1900

The formula for simple interest is A = P(1+rt)

Where P is the principal ( amount of money deposited)

R is the interest rate

t is the amount of time

A is the total of the principal and interest.


Using the information given in the problem:

A = 4200(1+0.0325*3)

A = 4200(1 + 0.0975)

A = 4200(1.0975)

A = 4609.50


Now subtract the principal from the total to find the amount of interest:


4609.50 - 4200 = 409.50


Amount of interest = $409.50
