Question 120672
Let x = number of sleeping room tickets @ $120
x+20 = number of berth tickets @ $80
3x= number of coach tickets @ $50


The equation will be 
120(x) + 80(x+20) + 50(3x) = 8600 


Try this and see if it works out for you!!  Let me know if you need to see this solved!!


Please see my website for additional help with word problems.  Click on my tutor name "rapaljer" anywhere in algebra.com, and look for "MATH IN LIVING COLOR".  Go to Basic Algebra, and look in Chapter 1 for the sections on Word Problems.  I also have some more challenging problems in Intermediate Algebra, Chapter 1.  I have a LOT of resources, including LOTS of practice tests with detailed solutions sheets for all levels of math.
