Two friends visited washington d. c. for the weekend. person 1 rode the subway one stop, 5 times at the peak fare price and four times at the off peak fare price for a total cost of $17.40. person 2 rode with person 1, 2 times at the peak fare price and three times at the off peak fair price for a total cost of $9.20. how much was the peak fare price?

The peak fare price is $2,2

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering

Person 1  

5x + 4y= 17,40

Person 2

2x + 3y= 9,20

Isolating the x

2x= 9,20-3y

x=(9,20-3y)/2=4,6 -1,5y

x=4,6 -1,5y

Replacing in the other equation

5 (4,6 -1,5y) + 4y=17,40

23-7,5y+4y=17,40

23-17,40=7,5y-4y

5,6=3,5y

y=1,60 (this is the off peak fare)

x= 4,60-1,5y

x= 4,60-1,5*1,60

x=2,2 (this is the peak fare)
