Question 1166771
<br>
Take the time to read and digest the given information so you can set up the problem using a single variable:<br>
x = # of mezzanine tickets
2x+337 = # of balcony tickets (337 more than two times the number of mezzanine tickets)
(x)+(2x+337)+51 = 3x+388 = # of main floor tickets sold (51 more than balcony and mezzanine tickets combined)<br>
Then use those expressions, and the prices for each kind of ticket, to write and solve the equation that says the total ticket sales were $89,213.<br>
{{{49(x)+51(2x+337)+57(3x+388) = 89213}}}<br>
Solve using basic algebra... although the numbers are "ugly", so it will take some time.<br>
