Question 129943: Hey, I'm having some major trouble on this problem. If you could please help me out with it I'd really appricate it. Thanks ahead of time. Here's my question:

An entertainment promotor for a magic show must make $161,000 from ticket sales in order to cover the costs and make a reasonable profit. The auditorium has 3000 seats, with 1800 seats on the lower floor and 1200 balcony seats. Attendees will pay $20 more for the lower-floor seats than for the balcony seats.

Write a system of equations with f for the floor-seat ticket price and b for the balcony-seat ticket price.
