Answer: 330 regular tickets, 46 premium tickets and 64 elite tickets were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of regular tickets that were sold.

Let y represent the number of premium tickets that were sold.

Let z represent the number of elite tickets that were sold.

The theatre group sold a total of 440 tickets for the show. It means that

x + y + z = 440- - - - - - - - - -1

Each regular ticket cost $5, each premium ticket cost $15, and each elite ticket cost $25. The total amount made from the show was $3940. It means that

5x + 15y + 25z = 3940- - - - - - - - - 2

The number of regular tickets was three times the number of premium and elite tickets combined. It means that

x = 3(y + z)

x = 3y + 3z

Substituting x = 3y + 3z into equation 1 and equation 2, it becomes

3y + 3z + y + z = 440

4y + 4z = 440- - - - - - - - - - - - -3

5(3y + 3z) + 15y + 25z = 3940

15y + 15z + 15y + 25z = 3940

30y + 40z = 3940 - - - - - - - - - - 4

Multiplying equation 3 by 10 and equation 4 by 1, it becomes

40y + 40z = 4400

30y + 40z = 3940

Subtracting, it becomes

10y = 460

y = 460/10

y = 46

Substituting y = 46 into equation 3, it becomes

4 × 46 + 4z = 440

184 + 4z = 440

4z = 440 - 184

4z = 256

z = 256/4

z = 64

x = 3(y + z) = 3(46 + 64)

x = 330
