Answer provided by our tutors
let
r = the number of regular coach seat tickets purchased
s = the number of sleeper car seats tickets purchased
Ninety-four passengers rode in a train from city a to city b
r + s = 94
Tickets for regular coach seats cast $126. Tickets for sleeper car seats cost $294. The receipts for the trip totaled $19,404.
126*r + 294*s = 19404
by solving the system of equations
r + s = 94
126*r + 294*s = 19404
we find
r = 49 tickets
s = 45 tickets
