Hope that helps you
My suggestion is to look on google, there are plenty of answers and I think it will explain better than me.
Answer:
Let x = number of gate tickets, ($1.50)
:
Since there were 600 tickets sold, let (600-x) = the $1 tickets
:
1.50 tickets + $1 tickets = $700
:
1.5x + 1(600 - x) = 700
1.5x - x = 700 - 600
.5x = 100
x = 100/.5
x = 200 ea 1.50 tickets sold at the gate
;
;
Check: there were 600 - 200 = 400 ea $1 tickets sold
1.50(200) + 1(400) = $700
