Problema Solution
An auditorium earned 25,000 in sold out concert ticket sales front section seats cost $75 per seat and back section seats cost $50 per seat. The number of front section seats is twice the number of back section seats. How many seats are in the front section?
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'x' represent the number of back section seats, then '2x' represents the number of front section seats
25000 = 50x + 75(2x)
solving for 'x' we have x=125
2*125 = 250
there are 250 seats in the front section
