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
