Answer by wuwei96815(245) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let x=tickets purchased before the rally.
Let 750-x=tickets purchased at the door.

Since we know the total receipts, we can write the following equation:
$2(x) + $2.75(750-x) = $1706.25
2x + 2062.50 - 2.75x = 1706.25
-0.75x = -2062.50 + 1706.25 = -356.25
x = 475
750-x = 275

I hope that you were able to follow the solution.
