Answer:
997 admission tickets were sold and 361 reserved seats were sold.
Step-by-step explanation:
There is a couple of ways to calculate this.
Multiply the cost of an admission ticket by the total paid admissions:
![4 \times 1358 = 5432](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=4%20%5Ctimes%201358%20%3D%205432)
Subtract this from the total cost:
![5973.5 - 5432 = 541.5](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=5973.5%20-%205432%20%3D%20541.5)
Divide the above value by the difference between the cost of the two tickets:
![5.5 - 4 = 1.5](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=5.5%20-%204%20%3D%201.5)
![541.5 \div 1.5 = 361](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=541.5%20%5Cdiv%201.5%20%3D%20361)
Now we know the number of general admission tickets, we can subtract the cost of this from the total cost:
![361 \times 5.5 = 1985.5\\5973.50 - 1985.5 = 3988](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=361%20%5Ctimes%205.5%20%3D%201985.5%5C%5C5973.50%20-%201985.5%20%3D%203988)
Divide this by the cost of general admission:
![3988 \div 4 = 997\\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=3988%20%5Cdiv%204%20%3D%20997%5C%5C)
So there were 997 admission tickets sold and 361 reserved seats sold.
Hope this helps!
