There are 2 types of tickets to attend an awards dinner—silver and gold. The gold tickets are $8 more than the silver. If Patrick bought 10 tickets at each level and spent a total of $140, find the price of each ticket.(1 point)
$_ for each silver ticket and $_ for each gold ticket
Let x be the price of a silver ticket. The gold ticket is x+8.
Patrick bought 10 silver tickets for a total of 10*x dollars.
Patrick bought 10 gold tickets for a total of 10*(x+8) dollars.
The total amount that Patrick spent on tickets is 10*x + 10*(x+8) = 140 dollars.
Combining like terms, we get 20*x + 80 = 140 dollars.
Subtracting 80 from both sides, we get 20*x = 60 dollars.
Dividing both sides by 20, we get x = 3 dollars.
The price of each silver ticket is $3 and the price of each gold ticket is $3+8 = $11. Answer: \boxed{3, 11}.
