Question

A notary receives $ 3500 for elaborating a title property and $2000 for the constitutive act of an enterprise. In a month did a total of 22 operations, both titles and acts that represented a total wanna go income of $53000. How many title and acts were elaborated?

Answer 1

6 titles and 16 acts were elaborated

Explanation:

Let the number of titles be t and the number of acts be a

Since the total is 22 operations:

a + t = 22 •••••••(i)

Total amount from titles = 3500 * t = 3500t

Total amount from acts = 2000 * a = 2000a

2000a + 3500t = 53,000 ••••••(ii)

From i, a = 22-t

Insert this in ii

2000(22-t) + 3500t = 53,000

44,000 - 2000t + 3500t = 53,000

1,500t = 53000-44000

1500t = 9000

t = 9000/1500

t = 6

But a = 22 -

= 22-6 = 16
