Problema Solution
There were 189 tickets sold for a basketball game. The activity cardholders' tickets cost $1.25. Non-cardholders' tickets cost $2.25. The total amount of money collected was $307.25. How many of each kind of ticket were sold?
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'x' represent the number of activity cardholders tickets sold, then '189-x' represents the number of non-cardholders tickets sold
307.25 = 1.25x + 2.25(189-x)
solving for 'x' we have x=118
189-118 = 71
there were 118 activity cardholders tickets sold and 71 non-cardholders tickets sold
