Question 939925: An airline is flying from Los Angeles to Albuquerque and making a stop in Phoenix. A ticket from Los Angeles to Phoenix costs $90 and from Los Angeles to Albuquerque $120. A total of 185 passengers boarded the plane in Los Angeles and totaled a fare of $21,000.
How many passengers stayed in phoenix ?

I was asked by a teacher to translate the original Spanish word problem into the English language, I believe I succeeded in doing so, but then he asked me to solve it and I was wondering if the correct answer would be x = 40 , y = 145 , as in 40 passengers stayed in Phoenix and 145 continued to Albuquerque.
