There are 2 types of tickets to attend an awards dinner- silver and gold. The gold ticket 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
_ for Each silver ticket_ for each gold ticket
Let's assume the price of each silver ticket is x dollars.
Therefore, the price of each gold ticket would be x + 8 dollars.
Patrick bought 10 silver tickets, so he spent 10x dollars on silver tickets.
He also bought 10 gold tickets, so he spent 10(x + 8) dollars on gold tickets.
According to the problem, Patrick spent a total of $140, so we can set up the equation:
10x + 10(x + 8) = 140
Simplifying the equation:
10x + 10x + 80 = 140
20x = 60
x = 3
Therefore, each silver ticket costs $3 and each gold ticket costs $3 + $8 = $11.
