You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x, how many tickets
$2.50, price for 1 ticket

Other costs or revenues? No. None. Nothing else.
y, revenue ONLY from ticket sales.

What are the units for y, the price, and x ?

system%28x%28tickets%29%2Cy%28dollars%29%2C2.50%28dollars%2Fticket%29%29

y=2.50%28dollars%2Fticket%29%2Ax%28tickets%29, and again you know the unit for y is DOLLARS.
