Problema Solution

Ann and Sean, co-sponsors of a student club, paid $208 for concert tickets. They bought twice as many balcony seat tickets as floor seat tickets. If the balcony seats cost $15 ant the floor seats cost $22, how many of each type of ticket did they purchase?

Answer provided by our tutors

15 * 2x +  22 * x =  208 

30x + 22x = 208 

52x = 208 

x = 4 

 

so 4 floor seats 

4 * 2 = 8 balcony seats
