There were 41,000 people at a ball game in Los Angeles. THE day's receipts were $340,000. How many people paid $14 for reserved seats and how many paid $5 for general admission?
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Equations:
\n" ); document.write( "Quantity Eq:: r + g = 41000 tickets
\n" ); document.write( "Value Eq::: 14r+5g = 340000 dollars
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Modify for elimination:
\n" ); document.write( "5r + 5g = 5*41000
\n" ); document.write( "14r+ 5g = 340000
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract and solve for \"r\"::
\n" ); document.write( "9r = 135000
\n" ); document.write( "r = 15000 (# of reserved tickets sold)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"g\":
\n" ); document.write( "r + g = 41000
\n" ); document.write( "15000 + g = 41000
\n" ); document.write( "g = 26000 (# of general admission tickets sold)
