Question

As the school’s sign language interpreter, Kiran gets paid $34 for every parent-teacher conference that he attends. He also gets paid $22 per school-related assembly that he attends as an interpreter. If Kiran earns $1008 for 36 paid events, how many parent-teacher conferences and how many school-related assemblies did he attend ?

Answer 1

Kiran atttended 18 parent-teacher conferences and 18 school-related assemblies.

Let x represent the number of parent-teacher conference and y represent the school-related assembly.

Since Kiran earns $1008 for 36 paid events, hence:

x + y = 36    (1)

34x + 22y = 1008    (2)

Solving equations 1 and 2 simultaneously gives:

x = 18, y = 18

Therefore Kiran atttended 18 parent-teacher conferences and 18 school-related assemblies.
