Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You run a train station that sells children tickets for 2 dollars and adult tickets for 4 dollars
The total tickets sold on Saturday was 50
The train station made 120
How many adult tickets and kid tickets did they sell?
(40 kids, 10 adults)
A pen cost $40 and the book cost $10
The word problem that can be represented by the equation is: John bought one pen and one book for $50. He went the next day and bought 2 pens and 4 books for $120.
x + y = 50 ....... i
2x + 4y = 120 .... ii
Let x = pen
Let y = book.
From equation i, x = 50 - y
Since 2x + 4y = 120
2(50 - y) + 4y = 120
100 - 2y + 4y = 120
Collect like terms
-2y + 4y = 120 - 100
2y = 20
y = 10
Therefore, a book cost $10
Since x + y = 50
x + 10 = 50
x = 50 - 10
x = 40
A pen cost $40
