The income from a student production was $36,000. The price of a student ticket was $9, and nonstudent tickets were sold at $15 each. Three thousand tickets were sold. How many tickets of each kind were sold? Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
5 x + 6 y = 63000 .............1
y-x = 5000 .............2
Eliminate y
multiply (1)by -1
Multiply (2) by 6
-5 x -6 y = -63000
-6 x + 6 y = 30000
Add the two equations
-11 x = -33000
/ -11
x = 3000
plug value of x in (1)
5 x + 6 y = 63000
15000 + 6 y = 63000
6 y = 63000 -15000
6 y = 48000
y = 8000
x= 3000 Amount invested at 5%
y= 8000 Amount invested at 6%
----------------
x= Number of student tickets
y= Number of non student tickets
1 x + 1 y = 3000 .............1
9 x + 15 y = 36000 .............2
Eliminate y
multiply (1)by -15
Multiply (2) by 1
-15 x -15 y = -45000
9 x + 15 y = 36000
Add the two equations
-6 x = -9000
/ -6
x = 1500
plug value of x in (1)
1 x + 1 y = 3000
1500 + y = 3000
y = 3000 -1500
y = 1500
y = 1500
x= 1500 Number of student tickets
y= 1500 Number of non student tickets
