One of the local ski resorts has RFID built into the lift ticket and RF readers on all the chair lifts. Since the system captures your chair lift usage, it can calculate the total number of vertical feet skied/snowboarded each day. This detailed information can be viewed via a web page or Smartphone application.
When I checked the data, my vertical feet for two days of skiing and the elevation drop of each trail that I skied was as follows:
Day 1 (18,052 vertical feet)
Trail 1 = 773 feet
Trail 2 = 945 feet
Trail 3 = 1121 feet
Day 2 (16,430 vertical feet)
Trail 4 = 822 feet
Trail 5 = 946 feet
Trail 6 = 1184 feet
I only skied on three trails each day and the three trails were different on Day 1 and Day 2. In other words, Trail 1, Trail 2, and Trail 3 account for 18,052 vertical feet and Trail 4, Trail 5, and Trail 6 account for 16,430 vertical feet.
Based on the above information, you need to figure out the number of times that I skied each trail where:
A = number of times that I skied Trail 1
B = number of times that I skied Trail 2
C = number of times that I skied Trail 3
D = number of times that I skied Trail 4
E = number of times that I skied Trail 5
F = number of times that I skied Trail 6
