Option 1: $53 for each ticket plus a shipping fee of $10


Option 2: $55 for each ticket and free shipping


What is a system of equations to represent the costs of the tickets?


Express your equations in the form of y=mx+b where x is the number of tickets purchased and y is the total cost.


Enter your equations in the boxes

Answer 1

system of equations are

y=53x + 10, y=55x

Explanation:

y=mx+b where x is the number of tickets purchased and y is the total cost.

We need to frame the equation for each option

Option 1: $53 for each ticket plus a shipping fee of $10

1 ticket cost = 53

So x tickets cost = 53x

shipping fee = $10 so b= 10

So equation becomes y=53x + 10

Option 2: $55 for each ticket and free shipping

1 ticket cost = 55

So x tickets cost = 55x

shipping fee =0 so b= 0

So equation becomes y=55x
