There are 538 tickets sold for a basketball game. the activity cardholders' tickets cost $1.50 and the non- cardholders' tickets cost $2.00. The total amount of money collected was $930.50. How many of each kind of ticket were sold?
Answer provided by our tutors
let
c = the number of activity cardholders' tickets
n = the number of non-cardholders' tickets
there are 538 tickets sold
c + n = 538
the total amount of money collected was $930.50
1.50c + 2n = 930.5
by solving the system of equations
c + n = 538
1.50c + 2n = 930.5
we find
c = 291 tickets
n = 247 tickets
