Question

Ninety-six passengers rode in a train from City A to City B. Tickets for regular coach seats cost $127. Tickets for sleeper cars seats cost $290. The receipts for the

trip totaled $20,179. How many passengers purchased each type of ticket?

Answer 1

Explanation:

x + y = 96

127x + 290y = 20,179

-127x - 127y = -12,192

127x + 290y = 20,179

163y = 7,987

y = 49

x + 49 = 96

x = 47
