Question 951687
there were 405 tickets sold. cardholders tickets are $1.25 and non-cardholders tickets are $2.50. total amount collected was $713.75. how many of each kind were sold?
-----
Quantity Eq:: o + t = 405 tickets
Value Eq::: 125o + 250t = 71375 cents
--------------------
Modify::
125o + 125t = 125*405
125o + 250t = 71375
------
Subtract and solve for "t"::
125t = 20750
t = 166 (# of 2.50 tickets sold
------
Solve for "o"::
o + t = 405
o + 166 = 405
o = 239
