You can put this solution on YOUR website! L = 8 dollars/ticket
H = 12.50 dollars/ticket
x = how many low price tickets
y = how many high price tickets
Account for tickets: x+y=244
Account for revenue (total money of sales): Lx+Hy=2267
The variables needing be solved are x and y. A suggestion for method is to use Substitution.

Let number of lower box tickets sold be L
Then number of upper reserved tickets sold = 244 - L
Therefore, 12.5L + 8(244 - L) = 2267
Solve for L, the number of lower box tickets sold
Substitute value for L to determine the number of upper reserved tickets sold
Then do the check!!
