  1. Steps 1. Define the variables 2. Set up two equations 3. Solve using elimination 4. State your solution in a complete sentence. 5. Check your solution.

  2. The “HOW MANY” problems System 1: will be X + Y = total number of things System 2: will be costX + costY = Total money

  3. 1. You are selling tickets for a high school basketball game. Student tickets cost $3 and general admission tickets cost $5. You sell 350 tickets and collect $1450. How many of each type of ticket did you sell?

  4. Solve Define variables: System of equations: State your solution(s):

  5. 2. You are selling hamburgers and corndogs at the concession stand. The hamburgers cost $3.50 and the corndogs cost $1.50. The concession stand collects $1300 in sales and determines there were a total of 600 items were sold. How many hamburgers were sold?
