. A city bus collected $1,140 in fares on a given day. The regular fare is $1.50, and the reduced fare is $0.75. If 1,042 total fares were paid, which system of linear equations can be used to find , the number of regular fares paid, and , the number of reduced fares paid?

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved by a system of equations.

I am going to say that:

x is the number of regular fares paid.

y is the number of reduced fares paid.

1,042 total fares were paid

This means that

A city bus collected $1,140 in fares on a given day. The regular fare is $1.50, and the reduced fare is $0.75.

This means that:

System of equations:

The system of equations is:

-3.396 = -3.4

-0.708 = -0.7

0.304 = 0.3

0.955 = 1

b or 2, just plug these equations into your graphing calculator then check the graph to see the image. if it matches up then that's your answer!
