Question 878446: A fraternity charged $2.00 admission for guys and $1.00 admission for gals to their finals week bash. The fraternity made $75 and sold 55 tickets. How many gals attended the party? Answer by JulietG(1812) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If they had sold 55 tickets at a dollar, they would have made 55. Instead, they made 75. 75-55=20. 20 tickets were sold at $2 each. That leaves 55-20, or 35 tickets sold at $1 each.
.
20 tickets for guys @ $2 = $40
35 tickets for gals @ $1 = $35
Total = 55 tickets and $75
