Question

John is selling tickets to an event. Attendees can either buy a general admission ticket, x, or a VIP ticket, y. The general admission tickets are $70 and the VIP tickets are $80. If he knows he sold a total of 29 tickets and made $2,130, how many of each type did he sell?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=29...because x and y means how many tickets they have

and if normal 1 ticket is 70...then x number of tickets are $70x.

and

1 VIP ticket is 80...then y number of tickets are $80y..got that?...sum of all earned by selling tickets equal to $2130

so...

70x+80y=2130

so...equations are

x+y=29

70x+80y=2130

solve these equations.i did the hard part...you will get the answer...if u dont know hot to solve this comment me...
