1. You need a parking for your food truck, so you purchased 26 “parking hours” that you can use over the next month to park your food truck at the fair. Weekday hours cost $2/hour and weekend hours cost $10/hour. You spent a total of $220. How many weekday hours did you purchase?

2.If the weekday hours tripled but your budget of $220 for 26 parking hours remain the same. How many weekend hours can you purchase now that the weekday hours have increased?

Respuesta :

The weekday hours you purchased is 5 hours.

The number of weekend hours I can purchase if the weekday hours tripled is 11 hours.

What are the linear equations that represent the question?

2a + 10b = 220 equation 1

a + b = 26 equation 2

Where:

  • a = number of hours for weekday parking
  • b = number of hours for weekend parking

How many weekday hours did you purchase?

Multiply equation 2 by 10

10a + 10b = 260 equation 3

Subtract equation 3 from equation 2

8a = 40

a = 5 hours

What is the weekend hours I can purchase?

(5 x 3) + b = 26

15 + b = 26

b = 26 - 15

b = 11 hours
