Question #111033

A traveling carnival has receipts of $4,275 one day. Twice as much was made on concessions as on the rides. How much did the concession bring in? How much did the rides bring in?

Expert's answer

As we don’t know how much the concession and rides brought in let's assume 'x' = money which rides brought in. As concessions was made a twice as on the rides, it will be '2x'. We can make an equation: x + 2x = 4275 -> 3x = 4275 -> x = 4275/ 3 = 1425.

The concession bring in 2 × 1425 = 2850

Answer:

The concession brings in $2850 and the rides bring in $1425.

The same equation will occur in substitution and elimination methods. Using the substitution method x+y=4275, y=2x, then x+2x=4275, y=2x, hence 3x=4275, x=1425, thus, y=2x=2*1425=2850. Using the elimination method x+y=4275, y=2x, then y=4275-x, y=2x, hence 2x=4275-x,y=2x, so 3x=4275, y=2x, thus, x=1425, hence y=2x=2*1425=2850.

Could you do either substitution or elimination method instead?
