Admission to a baseball game is $3.00 for general admission and $3.50 for reserved seats. The receipts were $2786.50 for 877 paid admission. How many of each tickets were sold?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let the number of general admission tickets sold be x: sold for $3\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So The reserved ticket sold will be the remaining part of 877 ticket
\n" ); document.write( "ie: 877-x sold for $3.5 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Total receipts for the game was $2786.50\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3x+ 3.5*(877-x)= 2786.50\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3x+3069.50- 3.5x =2786.50\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3x-3.5x= 2786.50-3069.50\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-0.5x= -283\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x= -283/ - 0.5 = 566\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The general admission ticksts sold were 566\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The reserved tickets sold were 877-566= 311\r
\n" ); document.write( "
