The school band sold cupcakes to raise money for new uniforms. each of the 40 band members baked cupcakes to sell. they either baked chocolate or vanilla cupcakes.

each student baked 24 cupcakes.
each cupcake was sold for $2.
all of the cupcakes were sold.
a total of $1,200 was earned from the vanilla cupcakes.
how much did the band earn from the chocolate cupcakes?

$720

Step-by-step explanation:

$1,200 divided by 2 (600) equals how many vanilla cupcakes there were.

40 people times 24 cupcakes each person (960) equals how many total cupcakes there were.

The total amount of cupcakes minus the amount of vanilla cupcakes equals the amount of chocolate cupcakes (960-600=360).

360 chocolate cupcakes times the amount each cupcake was sold for equals the amount of money raised from the chocolate cupcakes (360x2=720).

step-by-step explanation:

tickets for the harlem globetrotters

show at michigan state university in

2010 cost $16, $23, or, for vip seats, $40.

total revenue = 16x + 23y + 40z

if 9 times as many $16 tickets were sold

as vip tickets,

x = 9z => x – 9z = 0, if 9 times as many $16 tickets were sold

as vip tickets,

x = 9z => x – 9z = 0, sales of all three kinds of tickets would

total $46,575.

16x + 23y + 40z = 46575, how many of each kind of ticket would

have been sold?

solve for x, y and z

x − 9z = 0

x − y − z = 55

16x + 23y + 40z = 46575

x = 1170

y = 985

z = 130
