Sarah took the advertising department from her company on a round trip to meet with a potential client. including sarah a total of 10 people took the trip. she was able to
purchase coach tickets for $360 and first class tickets for $1140. she used her total budget for airfare for the trip, which was $8280. how many first class tickets did she buy?
how many coach tickets did she buy?
number of first class tickets bought=

I think one of the easiest ways to start this is by dividing her total budget by the price of a first class ticket. ($8280/$1140 =7.26) Now it’s just a matter of finding out whether she could afford all 7 tickets and still have money left over for the other 3 coach tickets. ($1140x7=$7980). If you add the price of one coach ticket, you’re already over budget so try going down by one. ($1140x6=$6840). You’ll need to purchase 4 coach tickets which amount to $1440 ($360x4=$1440). Add them together and you’re right on budget. ($6840+$1440=$8280).
