Problema Solution
$6.50 for n $3.00 for s they paid $44.40 for 9 people how many were s
Answer provided by our tutors
let 's' represent the number paid $3.00
then 'n = 9-s' represents the number paid $6.50
6.50 * (9-s) + 3.00 * s = 44.40
...s = 4.03
so there is most likely an error in the problem statement but one could say that approximately 4 people paid $3.00 and therefore 5 people paid $6.50, indicating that the original problem should state a total of $44.50 paid
