1. 8.6 Coin, Ticket, and Weight Problems
Goal: To use a system of equations to solve coin, ticket and weight problems

2. Pattern Similar to 8.4 problems Set up two equations
One equation is a physical amount that you can count with two different categories (ie like the fish problem 2 kinds rock fish and blue fish)
The other equation will have a dollar amount associated with it or a weight associated with the different categories to give a total dollar or pound amount.

9. Ticket Problem

10. There were 166 paid admissions to a game
There were 166 paid admissions to a game. The price was $2 for adults and $0.75 for children. The amount taken in was $ How many adults and children attended?
A+ C =166 and 2A C = A = 166 –C 2(166-C) +0.75C = C +0.75C = C = C=31 A=135

11. Weight Problem

12. A jar contains 5 gram bolts and 10 gram bolts
A jar contains 5 gram bolts and 10 gram bolts. The contents of the jar weigh 3.8 kg. If there are 460 bolts, how many of there of each kind?
X = 5 gram bolts and y =10 gram bolts X +y = 460 and 5(x) + 10(y) =3800 You solve it X =160 5 gram bolts and y= gram bolts
