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

$50(x+y=29)\\50x+50y=1450\ \ \ Eqn\ 3$

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

$(50x+55y)-(50x+50y)=1505-1450\\50x+55y-50x-50y=55\\5y=55$

Dividing both sides by 5

$\frac{5y}{5}=\frac{55}{5}\\y=11$

Putting y=11 in Eqn 1

$x+11=29\\x=19-11\\x=18$

John sold 18 general admission tickets and 11 VIP tickets.

The fundamental behavior that's important here is that, as $t$ gets arbitrarily large, $a^t$ becomes smaller (decays) if $|a|$ and larger (grows) if $|a|>1$ .

$100\left(1-\dfrac12\right)^t=100\left(\dfrac12\right)^t\implies\dfrac12$

$0.1(1.25)^t\implies1.25>1\implies\text{growth}$

$426(0.98)^t\implies0.98$

$2050\left(\dfrac12\right)^t\implies\text{decay}$

$\left((1-0.03)^{1/2}\right)^{2t}=0.97^t\implies0.97$
