Question

Suppose Suppose there are two types of tickets to a show advance and same-day advance tickets are $25 and same-day tickets cost $35 for one performance there were 75 tickets sold in off and the total amount paid for them with $2,225 how many tickets of each type were sold

Answer 1

Crystal, this question is well below the standard for college algebra. It's a basic algebra question.

Here's how to solve it: let the quantities of each type of ticket sold be x and y, respectively

Then, 25x + 35y = 2225 ................... (1)

and x + y = 75 ................... (2)

Solve for x in terms of y from (2), then substitute into (1) to find y. Substitute this value back into (2) to find x.
