One train leaves for Mpls from Chicago at 9 pm traveling 50 mph. One hour later, another train leaves
Mpls for Chicago traveling at 40 mph. The distance along the track is 410 miles. At what time do they
meet?



Let t = time for fast train

Then, time for slow train is t - 1 since it left one hour later.


410 = 50t + 40(t !1)
410 = 50t + 40t ! 40
450 = 90t
5 = t

So, the time for the fast train is 5 hours. Since it left at 9 pm, it meets the slow train
at 9 pm + 5 hours = 2 am.

Tickets to a show cost $5 for adults and $2 for kids. If 200 tickets were sold and
$589 was collected, how many of each type of ticket was sold?

x = # kid tickets

200 - x = # adult tickets

Total Money = Money from kids + Money from Adults

589 = 2•x + 5•(200 - x)
589 = 2x + 1000 - 5x
-411 = -3x
137 = x

So, there are 137 kid tickets and 200 - 137 = 63 adult tickets sold.
