Write a system of equations that one could use to solve this word problem.

Question 2 options:



a)

{4x+10y=1950x+y=300
4x+10y=1950x+y=300 {"version":"1.1","math":"4x+10y=1950x+y=300"}




b)

{4x=30010y=1950
4x=30010y=1950 {"version":"1.1","math":"4x=30010y=1950"}




c)

{4x+10y=300x+y=1950
4x+10y=300x+y=1950 {"version":"1.1","math":"4x+10y=300x+y=1950"}




d)

{x+y=300x+y=1950
x+y=300x+y=1950 {"version":"1.1","math":"x+y=300x+y=1950"}

Answer 1

x=number of 4 dollar tickets
y=number of 10 dollar tickets

total is 300 so
x+y=300

value=number of certain ticket times value of ticket
value of 4dollar ticket=x times 4=4x
value of 10dollar ticket=y times 10=10y


total value=1950
therefor
4x+10y=1950


the equations are
x+y=300
4x+10y=1950

very confusing since the options are doublepasted or something
answer is A
