I think I've part of it, but i can't figure out where to start solving it?
this is what i have so far...
X = the number of people that paid $ 13
Y = the number of people that paid $ 6
X + Y = 44,000 (total number of people that attended)
13x+6Y=369,000 ( total revenue) Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! m+n=44000
6m+13n=369000
6m+6n=264000
7n=105000
n=15000
m=29000
29000 paid for general admission and 15000 paid for reserved seats..
