Question

Admission to a baseball game is $2.50 for general admission and $5.00 for reserved seats. The receipts were $3667.50 for 1109 paid admissions. How many of each
ticket were sold? (Round to nearest integer if necessary.)

Answer 1

The general admission tickets sold are 1467 and the number of  reserved seats tickets sold is 358.

Two equations would be derived from the question:

$2.50a + $5b = $3667.50 equation 1

a + b = 1109 equation 2

Where:

a - number of people for the general admission

b = number of people for the reserved seats

To determine the value of b, take the following steps:

Multiply equation 2 by 2.5

2.5a + 2.5b = 2772.50 equation 3

Subtract equation 3 from 2

2.5b = 895

Divide both sides by 2.5

b = 358

In order to determine the value of a, substitute for b in equation 2

358 + a = 1109

a = 1109 - 358 = 1467
