A paintball park charges an entrance fee, and fee per game played. On saturday, Jesse plays 19 games and pays a total of 62.50 dollars. Paula plays 10 games and pays a total of 40 dollars. Find the entrance fee and then fee per games played

Respuesta :

Answer:

Entrance fee=15, fee per games played=2.50

Step-by-step explanation:

x=fee per games played, y=entrance fee

19x+y=62.50 equation 1

10x+y=40 equation 2

y=40-10x isolate y in equation 2

19x+40-10x=62.50 substitute y value from equation 2 into equation 1

9x=22.50

x=2.50

solve for y by substituting x value in either equation

10x+y=40

10(2.50)+y=40

25+y=40

y=15

Check answer:

19x+y=62.50

19(2.50)+15=62.50

47.50+15=62.50

62.50=62.50
