American Airlines sold a certain number of tickets from Los Angeles to the bay island in Honduras. They charged $120 for flight x and the remaining tickets for $280 for flight y. If the airline sold 59 tickets and collected a total of $12,520 from the sale of those tickets. A) how many tickets of each flight were sold. B) how much money was made from each flight?

y =34

x = 25

Money made from flight x = 3000

Money made from flight y = 9520

Step-by-step explanation:

Tickets sold

59= x+y

Amount of money

120x + 280y = 12520

Using substitution

x = 59-y

120( 59-y) + 280y = 12520

7080 - 120y +280y = 12520

Combine like terms

160y +7080 = 12520

Subtract 7080

160y = 12520-7080

160y =5440

Divide by 160

160y/160 = 5440/160

y =34

Now find x x = 59-y = 59-34 =25

x = 25

Money made from flight x =

120*x = 120*25 =3000

Money made from flight y =

280*y= 280*34=9520

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

hope this you

pretty sure 750 each month!
