There were 244 tickets purchased for a major league baseball game. The lower box tickets cost $12.50 and the upper reserved tickets cost $8.00. The total amount of money spent was $2267.00. How many of each kind of ticket were purchased?
\n" ); document.write( "


\n" );
document.write( "Let number of lower box tickets sold be L
\n" );
document.write( "Then number of upper reserved tickets sold = 244 - L
\n" );
document.write( "Therefore, 12.5L + 8(244 - L) = 2267\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "Solve for L, the number of lower box tickets sold
\n" );
document.write( "Substitute value for L to determine the number of upper reserved tickets sold\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "Then  do the check!! \r
