number of first class tickets bought=

Answer 1

Answer: Sarah bought 5 first class tickets and (13-5) = 8 coach tickets.

Step-by-step explanation: The taken a toll of one to begin with lesson ticket is $1200 and the fetched of one coach ticket is $380.

So, the full taken a toll of first class tickets would be 1200x and the entire cost of coach tickets would be 380(13-x) = 4940 - 380x.

The overall fetched of the tickets is given as $9040, so we will set up the taking after condition:

1200x + 4940 - 380x = 9040

Streamlining and tackling for x, we get:

820x = 4100

x = 5
