Problema Solution
There were 522 tickets sold for a basketball game. the activity cardholders tickets cost $1.50 and the non- cardholders tickets cost$2.50. The total amount of money collected was $1076.00. How many of each kind were sold?
Answer provided by our tutors
x+y= 522 -------- (1)
1.5x+2.5y= 1076 --------(2)
multiply with 1.5 in equation (1)
1.5 x+1.5y = 783---(3)
subtract the (3) from (2):
y= 293.
put this in equation (1):
293+x= 522
x=229......
so, activity kind: 229
and non-cardholder kind= 293
