<PRE><B>Question 861243</B>
There were 244 tickets purchased for a major league baseball game. The lower box tickets cost $12.50 and the upper reserved tickets cost $8.00. The total amount of money spent was $2267.00. How many of each kind of ticket were purchased?
&lt;pre&gt;
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!! 

If you need a complete and detailed solution, let me know!!
