Question

A school baseball team earned $3416.90 from selling 5716 tickets to their game. If grandstand tickets sold for 65 cents each and bleacher tickets sold for 40 cents each, how many of the bleacher tickets were sold?

Answer 1

If all were grandstand tickets, revenue would be 0.65*5716 = 3715.40. It was actually 298.50 less than that. Each bleacher ticket sold drops the revenue by .25, so there were 298.50/.25 = 1194 bleacher tickets sold.
