The radio station in North Pole, AK plays Christmas songs all day and night from Thanksgiving through Christmas. They play 12 per hour for 15 hours a day, and 8 songs per hour for the rest of the day. They like to have a mix of traditional and modern songs with a relationship of 9 traditional songs to every 5 modern songs. How many traditional songs and how many modern songs will they play in one day?

Traditional = 162

Modern = 90

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

12 songs per hour for 15 hours

8 songs per hour for the rest of the day ; (24 - 15) = 9 hours ;

That is ; 8 songs per hour for 9 hours

Total number of songs played per day :

(12 * 15) + (8 * 9) = 252 songs

If songs are mixed using the ratio 9:5 (traditional : modern)

Traditional songs :

(9 * 252) / (9 + 5) = 162

Modern songs :

(5 * 252) / (9 + 5) = 90

x+y = 29, 5x + 2y = 100
