Individual tickets to a raffle cost .35. A pair of consecutively numbered tickets may be bought for .50. If 100 tickets were sold and $32.20 was collected, how many people purchased pairs of consecutively numbered tickets?
***
let x=number of people who purchased pairs of consecutively numbered tickets.
100-2x=number of people who purchased individual tickets.
.50x+.35(100-2x)=32.20
.50x+35-.70x=32.20
.20x=2.80
x=14
how many people purchased pairs of consecutively numbered tickets? 14
