It his a problem solving, algebraic question. I really need help. It would be greatly appreciated, thank you so much, may god bless you. Q : 500 tickets for a football game were sold and the total receipts were $105. Some of the tickets sold for $15 and the rest sold for 25cents. Find the number of each sold. ( i am required too provide a equation/formula , write a table i already have that set up : i have it as ticket 1 & ticket two & value, number and amount. & i also would greatly appreciate if you show the work as too how you got the answers, so i can learn from it. Thank you so much. </SPAN>\n" );
