Answer 1

Explanation:

Given

There are 9 people going on a trip

They purchased coach tickets =$160

first class tickets =$1180

total budget to spend = $4500

Let coach tickets=X

So first class tickets=9-x

160x+1180(9-x)=4500

160+10620-1180x=4500

160x-1180x=4500-10620

-1020x=-6120

X=6120/1020

X=6

So answer

Coach tickets=X=6

First class tickets=(9-x)

=3.
