Question

Dave sold 40 tickets for a concert he sold X tickets at two dollars each and y tickets at three dollars each he collected $88 how many of each kind of ticket did he sell

Answer 1

x + y = 40
2x + 3y = 88

-2x -2y = -80
2x + 3y = 88

0 + y = 8
y= 8

x + y = 40
x + 8 = 40
x = 32

2x + 3y = 40
2(32) + 3(8) = 88
64 + 24 = 88


32 $2 tickets and 8 $3 tickets.
