Problema Solution
A 6000 seat theater has tickets for sale at 24 and 40. how many tickets should be sold at each price for a sellout performance to generate a total revenue of 182,400
Answer provided by our tutors
let
x = the number of tickets for sale at $24
y = the number of tickets for sale at $40
x + y = the total of tickets that is seats
x + y = 6000
x tickets by the price of 24 + y tickets by the price of 40 = total revenue of 182,400
24*x + 40*y = 182400
by solving the system of equations
x + y = 6000
24*x + 40*y = 182400
we find
x = 3600 tickets
y = 2400 tickets
3600 tickets at a price of 24 per ticket and 2400 tickets at a price of 40 per tickets should be sold to generate total revenue of 182,400.
