When Red Cubs played against the Archers,15 000 seats were sold.A reserved seat cost 500.00, but admission to the unreserved seats was 350.00. The total receipts were 6 000 000.00. How many reserved seats were sold?
**
let x=number of reserved seats sold
15000-x=number of unreserved seats sold
..
500x+350*15000=6*10^6
500x+350*15000=6*10^6-1.5*3.5*10^6
500x=.75*10^6=750*10^3
x=(750/500)*10^3=1.5*10^3=1500
ans:
number of reserved seats sold=1500</PRE>
