Answer provided by our tutors
let
x = the number of reserved seat tickets
y = the number of general admission seat tickets
x + y = 2345
500x + 300y = 826100 divide both sides by 100
5x + 3y = 8261
by solving the system of equations
x + y = 2345
5x + 3y = 8261
we find
x = 613 tickets
y = 1732 tickets
