John sold 18 general admission tickets and 11 VIP tickets.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Cost of each general admission = $50
Cost of each VIP ticket = $55
Total tickets sold = 29
Total revenue generated = $1505
Let,
x represent the number of general admission tickets sold
y represent the number of VIP tickets.
x+y=29 Eqn 1
50x+55y=1505 Eqn 2
Multiplying Eqn 1 by 50

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

Dividing both sides by 5

Putting y=11 in Eqn 1
