Problema Solution
680 tickets were sold for a basketball game. Tickets for cardholders cost $1.25 and the non-cardholders tickets cost $2.50. The total amount of money collected was $1317.50. How many of each kind of ticket were sold?
Answer provided by our tutors
let cardholder tickets = x and noncardholder tickets = 680-x
1.25*x + 2.50*(680-x) = 1317.50
1.25x + 1700 -2.50x = 1317.50
-1.25x = -382.50
x = 306
cardholder tickets = 306
noncardholder tickets = 680-308 = 372
