Hi

Tickets for a concert were sold at $26 each and $36 each.

four times as many $26 tickets were sold as $36 tickets.

let x and 4x represent the nunber of $36 and $26 tickets respectively:

Question states***Total revenue from the sale of tickets was $28000

 $26(4x) + $36x = $28000

    $140x = $28000

       x = 28000/104 = 200 $36 dollar tickets sold and 800 $26 dollar tickets sold
