Question 28836: Help solve this problem: One of the employers at the ticket booth was extremely busy and lost track of the number of ticket strips and unlimited-ride wristbands that were sold. jose, the ticket manager does know that the employee made a total of 500 sales, which totaled 15,425.
Write a system of equations to help jose determine the # of each type of sale. let x=the number of ticket strips and y= the # of unlimited-ride wristbands.
solve this using the substitution method.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! X+Y=500
BUT UNLESS THERE IS A PRICE OR PRICE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE TWO ITEMS I DION'T KNOW HOW TO DEVELOP THE SECOND EQUATION.
DID YOU POSSIBLY LEAVE SOME INFORMATION OUT OF THE PROBLEM?
