J.F. Antona

2. Reading word problems and translate them into algebra terms)
Rules:
1.- Read the problem
2.- Read the problem
3.- Read only the questions and set x and y and write what they are
4.-Read only one sentence and establish the equation (go to the next sentence and do the same…)
5.-Solve the problem.

3. 1.- A word problem
Tickets at a football match cost $8, $15 or $20 each. The number of $15 tickets sold was double the number or $8 tickets sold more $20 $20 tickets were sold than $15 tickets. If the total gate receipts were $783000, how many of each type of ticket was sold?
X= number of $8 tickets
Y= number of $15 tickets
Z= number of $20 tickets
Y = 2X
Z= Y
8X+15Y+20Z=783000
4.-Read only one sentence and establish the equation (go to the next sentence and do the same…)
1.- Read the problem
2.- Read the problem
3.- Read only the questions and set x and y and write what they are
5.-Solve the problem (but that is another question). THE END for this moment. (REPEAT THE PRESENTATION IF YOU NEED IT)
