She purchased 5 paperbacks at $4 and 3 hardbacks at $8 for a total of $44.

h = number of hardback books
p = number of paperback books
h + p = 8
so
h = 8-p
.
4*p = price of paperbacks
8*h = price of hardbacks
4*p + 8*h = 44
.
substitute h = 8-p
.
4p + 8(8-p) = 44
4p +64 -8p = 44
-4p = -20
p = 5
h = 8-p
h = 3
.
check to be sure the values are right
4*5 = 20
3*8 = 24
20 +24 = 44

3. Brenda's school is selling tickets to a spring musical. On the first day of
Natalija [7]

Answer:

The Answer is that Senior Citizen Tickets cost: $4 and Child tickets cost: $7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s = the cost of senior citizen tickets

Let c = the cost of child tickets

The number of tickets sold for each type added together equals the sales for each day. Equations below:

Day 1

3s + 9c = $75

Solve for s:

3s = 75 - 9c

s = 25 - 3c

Day 2

8s + 5c = $67

By substitution:

8(25 - 3c) + 5c = 67

200 - 24c + 5c = 67

-19c = -133

c = -133 / -19 = $7 cost for child tickets.

Solve for s:

s = 25 - 3c

s = 25 - 3(7)

s = 25 - 21 = $4 cost for senior citizen tickets.

Proofs:

Day 1

3s + 9c = $75

3(4) + 9(7) = 75

12 + 63 = 75

75 = 75

Day 2

8s + 5c = $67

8(4) + 5(7) = 67

32 + 35 = 67

67 = 67
