tickets for a concert cost $5, $3, and $2. twice as many $5 tickets were sold as $2 tickets. the reciepts for 750 tickets were $2,625. how many of each price ticket were sold?
Answer provided by our tutors
let x="$2 tickets", so 2x="$5 tickets" and 750-3x="$3 tickets
2(x)+5(2x)+3(750-3x)=2625 __ 2x+10x+2250-9x=2625 __ 3x=375
