Question 1016176: A jazz concert brought in $164,000.00 on the sale of 7,800 tickets. If the tickets sold for $15 and $25 each, how many of each type of ticket were sold? Answer by FrankM(1040) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 15X+25Y=164000
X+Y=7800
Multiply 2nd equation by 15
15X+15Y= 117000
and subtract it from first equation.
10Y=47000
Y=4700
X=3100
check
15(3100)+25(4700)=164000
46500+117500 (yes, this checks)
