At a carnival, food tickets cost $2 each and ride tickets cost $3 each. a total of $1,240 was collected at the carnival. the number of food tickets sold was 10 less than twice the number of ride tickets sold.

the system of equations represents x, the number of food tickets sold, and y, the number of ride tickets sold.

2x + 3y = 1240

x = 2y – 10

how many of each type of ticket were sold?

The given equations satisfy the given conditions. There are 2 equations and 2 unknowns, so a certain solution can be found.

This can be solved using substitution,

Substituting eqn 2 to eqn 1:

2(2y – 10) + 3y =1240

Simplifying,

y = 180

x = 350

step-by-step explanation:

first you will have to convert 3/4 into a decimal

which is .75

then you will have to divide 1.5 by .75

which is 2

no you have to divide
