Problema Solution

Ninety-four passengers rode in the train from city A to city B. Tickets for regular coach seats are $119. Tickets for sleeper car seats cost $283. The receipts for the trip totaled $18,566. How many passengers purchased each type of ticket

Answer provided by our tutors

Let 'c' stand for the number of coach seats sold and 's' stand for the number of sleeper car seats sold. Therefore, we can write:


c+s=94

119c+283s=18566


Using Algebrator to solve for 'c' and 's', we get:

c=49

s=45
