Problema Solution

There are 6000 seats in a theatre and the tickets are $28 and $40 how many of each tickets must be sold to make 188,400$.

Answer provided by our tutors

We assume that every seat is purchased, so let 'x' represent the number of $28 tickets, then '6000-x' represents the number of $40 tickets:

188400=28x+(6000-x)40

x=4300

6000-4300=1700

So 4300 tickets would be purchased at $28 and 1700 tickets would be purchased at $40.
