Question 460634: It's a word problem, which I have no idea how to setup. I'm thinking it's a system of equations.
There were 44000 people at a ball game in Los Angeles. The day's receipts were $369,000. How many people paid $13.00 for a reserved seat and how many paid $6.00 for general admission?
Thank you

You can put this solution on YOUR website! 369000 = 13x+6y (1)
44000 = x + y (2)
times (2) by 13 to give 572000 = 13x+13y (3)
(3) - (1)
203000 = 7y
y = 29000
therefore x must be 15000
