You can put this solution on YOUR website! an auditorium has 500 balcony seats
1800 main- level seats.
tickets for balcony seats will cost 15 dollars less than tickets for main- level seats,
sellout performance will fetch 84,500
main level seats cost x----------- 1800 seats
balcony seats cost x-15------------500 seats
1800x+500(x-15)=84500
1800x+500x-7500=84500
2300x= 84500+7500
2300x= 92000
x= 92000/230
x= 400
main level seats cost $400
balcony seats cost x-15 $385
