Given :
Reserved seat tickets for the football game cost $4.00 each and general admission tickets cost $3.00 each.
After the game is over, the turnstile count shows 1787 people attended the game. The total receipts were $5792.
To Find :
The number of each general admission tickets sold.
Solution :
Let, general admission are x.
So, Reserved seat tickets will be 1787 - x.
Now, total amount T = 3x + 4( 1787 - x )
T = $5792
3x + 4( 1787 - x ) = $5792
-x + 7148 = 5792
x = 1356
Therefore, the number of each general admission tickets sold are 1356.
Hence, this is the required solution.
Step-by-step explanation:
just look what happened :
every term was multiplied by a factor with the value 1 (to keep the original value) but to establish a common denominator.
a/b was multiplied by d/d, and c/d was multiplied by b/b, so that the common denominator is then bd.
so, the first answer option is correct.
although I am a bit unhappy with its phrasing.
but the other options are definitely wrong.
-4x + y = 6
-5x - y = 21
add both of them
-9x = 27
x = -3
(-4*-3) + y = 6
-12 + y = 6
y = 18
I believe the answer is B.
She would need to work for 35 hours.
She earned $250.25 total the first two weeks, so divide that by the new rate per hour, $7.15, to get the 35 hours.
