Question

Christian sold tickets to game. Good seats were $5 each poor seats cost $2 each. 210 people attended and paid $660. Write a system of linear equations that can be used to find how many good seats and how many poor seats were sold. How many of each type of seat were sold?

Answer 1

5(g) + 2(p) = 660
-2(g+p=210)
5g+2p=660
-2g-2p=-420
3g/3=240/3
g=80

g+p=210
80+p=210
-80. -80
P=130
