lets
x = # of coach tickets and y = # of first class tickets

x + y = 15
220x + 1290y = 12930

x + y = 15 so x = 15 - y

substitute x = 15 - y into 220x + 1290y = 12930

220x + 1290y = 12930
220(15 - y) + 1290y = 12930
3300 - 220y + 1290y = 12930
1070y = 9630
y = 9

x = 15 - y
x = 15 - 9
x = 6

answer
6 coach tickets and 9 first class tickets

Well, if there is no restriction on how it is solved, the easiest way is to solve by guess and adjustment.

Assume everyone bought coach tickets, then
expense=15*220=3300
So there is (12930-3300)=9630 left over for them to switch to first class.
The
number employees who can switch to first class
=9630/(1290-220)
=9630/1070
=9
So there are 9 first-class tickets and (15-9)=6 coach tickets.
