let
x = the number of tickets purchased from the agency
the agency charges $32.50 for each ticket, a convenience charge of $3.30 for each ticket, and a processing fee of $5.90 for the entire order. the total charge for an order is $220.70.
(32.50 + 3.30)x + 5.90 = 220.70
35.80x = 220.70 - 5.90
35.80x = 214.8
x = 214.8/35.08
x = 6 tickets
