    Sarah bought 2 coach tickets and 3 first class tickets.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let c and f represent the numbers of coach and first class tickets purchased. Then c + f = 5, so that c = 5 - f.

    The pricing equation is therefore

    $380c + $1080f = $4000. Subbing 5 - f for c, we get the revised equation

    380 (5 - f) + 1080f = 4000.

    After simplification, this becomes:

    -380f + 1080f = 2100, or

    700f = 2100.

    Then f = 3 and c = 5 - f = 5 - 3 = 2.

    Sarah bought 2 coach tickets and 3 first class tickets.
