Let's say that they bought x $27 tickets. That means that they bought (29 - x) $21 tickets.

The value of the $27 tickets then is and the value of the $21 tickets is .

Finally, we know that the value of the $27 tickets plus the value of the $21 tickets is $675, so we can write:

Solve the equation:

So now we know that they bought 11 $27 tickets, so they bought (29 - 11 = 18) $21 tickets.

Check:
11 * 27 = 297
18 * 21 = 378
11 + 18 = 29 and
297 + 378 = 675 -- Answer Checks.
