Question 1186426
A movie theater sells tickets for $8 each, with seniors receiving a discount of $2. One evening the theater took in $3580 in revenue. There were 525 tickets sold that evening.

If x represents the number of tickets sold at $8 and y the number of tickets sold at the discounted price, which system of equations represent this situation?
<pre>As usual he's WRONG! His equations ARE! They're NOT 4x + y = 1,790 and x + y = 52, so: {{{cross(system(4x+y=1790,x+y=52))}}}
Will this person EVER stop making all these mistakes? I wonder!!


As x were sold at $8, and y were sold at discounted price of $6, we get:
8x + 6y = 3,580, which when reduced, becomes: <font color = red><font size = 4><b>4x + 3y = 1,790 ----- eq (i)</font></font></b>
As 525 tickets were sold, we also get: <font color = red><font size = 4><b>x + y = 525 ------ eq (ii)</font></font></b></pre>
