there were 405 tickets sold. cardholders tickets are $1.25 and non-cardholders tickets are $2.50. total amount collected was $713.75. how many of each kind were sold?
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Quantity Eq:: o + t = 405 tickets
\n" ); document.write( "Value Eq::: 125o + 250t = 71375 cents
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Modify::
\n" ); document.write( "125o + 125t = 125*405
\n" ); document.write( "125o + 250t = 71375
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract and solve for \"t\"::
\n" ); document.write( "125t = 20750
\n" ); document.write( "t = 166 (# of 2.50 tickets sold
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"o\"::
\n" ); document.write( "o + t = 405
\n" ); document.write( "o + 166 = 405
