Let the cost of 1 ticket without including the service fee = x
So, according to the data given in the question,
Hence, cost of each ticket before applying the service fee = $25
5x + 3y= 8.50
3x + 2y= 5.25
Lydia is the first equation. She bought 5 pounds of apples which is x and bought 3 pounds of bananas which is y. Basically, remember each banana and apple weighs a price per pound. We don't know the price so we just put an x. This is the same for the second equation
Answer:
161,460 gallons are used in a year.

There is 52 weeks in a year.
52×3,105=<u>161,460</u>
In this item, we let x be the number of corns and Y represent soybeans. The sum of these variables is 400. This is represented by the equation,
x + y = 400
The amount that needs to be earn by Tony is then represented by,
200x + 300y ≥ $60,000
