Tickets for a football game cost $1.00 each if purchased before the day of the game. They cost $1.50 each if bought at the gate. For the homecoming game, 600 tickets were sold, with receipts of $700. How many tickets were sold at the gate?\"

\n" ); document.write( "Let x = number of gate tickets, ($1.50)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Since there were 600 tickets sold, let (600-x) = the $1 tickets
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "1.50 tickets + $1 tickets = $700
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "1.5x + 1(600 - x) = 700
