Admission to a baseball game is
$3.50
for general admission and
$4.50
for reserved seats. The receipts were
$4450.00
for
1160
paid admissions. How many of each ticket were sold?
Answer provided by our tutors
let
x = the number of general admission tickets
y = the number of reserved seats tickets
The receipts were $4450.00:
3.50x + 4.50y = 4450
for 1160 paid admissions:
x + y = 1160
by solving the system of equations:
3.50x + 4.50y = 4450
x + y = 1160
we find:
x = 770 general admission tickets
y = 390 reserved seats tickets
