Question

Bill and Steve decide to spend the afternoon at an amusement park enjoying their favorite activities, the water slide and the gigantic Ferris wheels. Their tickets are stamped each time they slide or ride. At the end of the afternoon they have the following tickets: (Bill's ticket, Fun Time Amusements, Water Slide: 3 times, Ferris Wheel : 3 times, Total: K17.70) (Steve's ticket, Fun Time Amusements, Water Slide: 2 times, Ferris Wheel : 3 times,Total : K15.55) How much does it cost ti ride the Ferris Wheel? How much does it cost to slide on the Water Slide?

Answer 1

cost of waterslide --- x
cost of Ferris wheel -- y

3x + 3y = 17.7
2x + 3y = 15.55
subtract them
x = 2.15

back in the first:
3(2.15) + 3y = 17.7
3y = 11.25
y = 3.75

slide ---> 2.15
wheel --> 3.75
