Problema Solution
Tickets for the baseball games were $2.50 for general admission and 50 cents for kids. If there were 6 times as many general admission sold as there were kids' tickets, and total receipts were $7750, how many of each type of ticket were sold?
Answer provided by our tutors
let
g = the number of general admission tickets sold
k = the number of kids tickets sold
there were 6 times as many general admission sold as there were kids' tickets
g = 6k
total receipts were $7750
2.50g + 0.5k = 7750
by solving the system of equations
g = 6k
2.50g + 0.5k = 7750
we find
g = 3000 tickets
k = 500 tickets
