Question 228977
Let {{{p}}}= purchase price of  a ticket
Amount taken in for sales to employees =
{{{60*(p/2)}}}
This amount is $1000 less than the price of 80 tickets which  =
{{{80p}}}
{{{60*(p/2) = 80p - 1000}}}
{{{60p = 160p - 2000}}}
{{{100p = 2000}}}
{{{p = 20}}}
An employee paid {{{p/2}}} per ticket
{{{p/2 = 10}}}
Employees played $10 for a ticket
check:
{{{60*(p/2) = 80p - 1000}}}
{{{60*10 = 80*20 - 1000}}}
{{{600 = 1600 - 1000}}}
{{{600 = 600}}}
OK
