Question

a business has $15,000 to spend on airline tickets to travel to a conference. it wants 27 of its employees to attend. the business wants to buy as many business-class seats as possible. the business-class seats cost $700. the economy-class seats cost $375. how many of each type of ticket should the business purchase?

Answer 1

15 business class and 12 economy class

Hope this helps :))

Answer 2

The airline can buy 15 business-class seats for 10,500, and have 4,500 left to spend, so they can buy 12 economy-class seats for 4,500. 15+12=27 employees, and 10,500+4,500=15,000.
