<PRE><B>Question 1175227</B>
&lt;br&gt;
300 people each paying ₵5 would bring in a total of ₵1500.
300 people each paying ₵6 would bring in a total of ₵1800.&lt;br&gt;
The actual total was ₵1580.&lt;br&gt;
Observe on a number line that ₵1580 is 80/300 of the way from ₵1500 to ₵1800.&lt;br&gt;
That means 80/300 of the tickets were the more expensive ₵6 tickets.  With a total of 300 tickets sold, that means 80 of them were the ₵6 tickets.&lt;br&gt;
ANSWER: 80 ₵6 tickets; 300-80 = 220 ₵5 tickets.&lt;br&gt;
CHECK: 80(₵6)+220(₵5) = ₵480+₵1100 = ₵1580.&lt;br&gt;
