You can put this solution on YOUR website! Three hundred people attended a band concert. Reserved seat tickets were sold at 100 dollars each while general admission tickets cost 60 dollars each. If the sales totalled 26,000 dollars, how many tickets of each type were sold?
-------------
Quantity Eq:: g + r = 300
Value Eq:: 60g+100r = 26000
-------------------------------------
Modify:
3g + 3r = 3*300
3g + 5r = 1300
------
Subtract and solve for "r":
2r = 400
r = 200 (# of reserved tickets sold)
g = 300 - r = 100 (# of general admission tickets sold)
----------------
