The system of equations represents the charge for tickets for this condition is given by: Option J: 3x + 4y= 235, 4x + 5y = 305
How to form mathematical expression from the given description?
You can represent the unknown amounts by the use of variables. Follow whatever the description is and convert it one by one mathematically. For example if it is asked to increase some item by 4 , then you can add 4 in that item to increase it by 4. If something is for example, doubled, then you can multiply that thing by 2 and so on methods can be used to convert description to mathematical expressions.
We're specified that:
- x = price of one ticket for adults (in dollars)
- y = price of one ticket for children (in dollars)
- Total charge for 3 adults and 4 children = $235
- Total charge for 4 adults and 5 children = $305
Total charge for 3 adults and 4 children = Ticket price for 3 adults + Ticket price for 4 children= [tex]x + x + x + y + y + y + y = 3x + 4y = 235[/tex] (in dollars)
(We don't write symbols like of currency generally, and understand it from context. Also, sign of multiplication is often hidden if there are non numeric symbols and numbers being multiplied are written together)
Similarly, we get:
Total charge for 4 adults and 5 children = Ticket price for 5 adults + Ticket price for 5 children= [tex]x + x + x + x + y + y + y + y + y = 4x + 5y = 305[/tex] (in dollars)
Thus, we got a system of equations in x and y as:
[tex]3x + 4y= 235\\4x + 5y = 305[/tex] (Option J)
