How to solve algebra word problems?

We are told that a total of 6 people took the trip. If x is the coach tickets and y is the first class tickets and she bought tickets for 6 of them, then we can say that;

x + y = 6    ------(1)

Now, coach tickets cost $270 and first class tickets costs $1250. She used her total budget for airfare for the trip, which was $3580. Thus;

270x + 1250y = 3580    ----(2)

Solving both equations simultaneously gives;

x = 4 and y = 2

Thus, we conclude that the number of coach tickets bought is 4 while the number of first class tickets bought is 2.
