Problema Solution
After a baseball game was over the turnstile stowed that 1787 people attended. The total cash received for tickets was $5792. Reserved seats cost $4.00 each and general admission cost $3.00 each. Compute the number of each type of ticket sold for the game.
Answer provided by our tutors
x = number of $4 tickets
y = number of $3 tickets
x + y = 1787
y = 1787 - x
4x + 3y = 5792
4x + 3(1787 - x) = 5792
4x + 5361 - 3x = 5792
x = 431
y = 1787 - 431
y = 1356
