Admission to a baseball game is $2.50 for general admission and $3.50 for reserved seats. The receipts were $3256.00 for 1186 paid admissions. How many of each ticket were sold?

Respuesta :

Answer:

General admission: 895

Reserved seats: 291

Step-by-step explanation:

x = general admission

y = reserved seats

a) 2.50x + 3.50y = 3256

b) x + y = 1186

b) x = 1186 - y

Substitution:

a) 2.50 * (1186-y) + 3.50y = 3256

2965 - 2.50y + 3.50y = 3256

y = 3256 - 2965

y = 291

Substitution:

b) x + 291 = 1186

x = 1186 - 291

x = 895
