A premium ticket for a football match was one and a half times the price of a standard ticket.
let the price of standard ticket be x
premium ticket for a football match will cost 1.5x
cost for 4 standard tickets = 4x
and 2 premium tickets 2*(1.5x) =3x

Total cost =€322
4x+3x=322 equation
7x = 322
x= 46
cost of a standard ticket = 46 euro

Solve the equation to find the cost of a standard ticket.
let a premium ticket be and a standard ticket
if a premium ticket was one and a half times the price of a standard ticket, we have

......eq.1

Notice how the tickets' prices are chosen with whole valued coefficients which could make calculations easier.

TYPE PRICE QTY. COST Premium 3Q 2 3Q*2 Standard 2Q 4 2Q*4 SUM 322

Form the equation as ,
which easily becomes

From this, Standard Ticket,
and Premium Ticket, euros

Please helppp As a person seeking help, my advice to you would be to IGNORE, at all costs, what NONSENSE/GIBBERISH JOSGARITHMETIC is trying to "sell" you. I'm convinced that his main purpose, at this forum, is to confuse the HELL out of everybody including himself. What he wrote absolutely makes NO SENSE, at all, to me. He mentions Q! What the HELL is Q, and what the HELL is 14Q = 322 supposed to be? Enough of the TORTURE!! Read on if you're as disgusted as I am. Let the price of a standard ticket be S Then price of a premium ticket = , or 1.5S As 4 standard and 2 premium tickets cost €322, we get: 4S + 2(1.5)S = 322 <=== Requested equation 4S + 3S = 322 7S = 322 Cost of a standard ticket, or = €46 That's IT! NOTHING more, NOTHING less!!
