Advance tickets for a local concert sold for eight dollars each. Tickets at the door were $12 each. The revenue from ticket sales were $1120.
Suppose twice as many advanced tickets were sold as tickets at the door. How many of each type of ticket was sold?
------
Quantity Equation:: a = 2d
Value Equation: 8a + 12d = 1120
--------------------------------------
Substitute and solve for "d":
8(2d) + 12d = 1120
28d = 1120
d = 40 (# sold at the door)
---
a = 2d = 80 (# of advance sold)
