Problema Solution
Tickets for a concert sold at $26 each and $36 each. Four times as many $26 tickets were sold as $36 tickets. Total revenue from the sale of tickets was $28,000. How many tickets of each were sold?
Answer provided by our tutors
let
x = the number of $26 tickets sold
y = the number of $36 tickets sold
4 times as many $26 tickets were sold as $36 tickets
x = 4y
total revenue from the sale of tickets was $28,000
26x + 36y = 28000
by solving the system of equations
x = 4y
26x + 36y = 28000
we find
x = 800 tickets
y = 200 tickets
