Question

10. The tickets to a ballet cost either $25 or $50. A total of 1,250 tickets, worth $50.000, tickets, which system of linear equations can be used to find the number of each type of ticket sold? 25x + 50y = 50000 x +y = 1250 A. 25x + 50y = 1250 x+y = 50000 B. 25x + x = 50000 50y + y = 1250 C. 25x + 50x = 50000 y +y = 1250 D.​

Answer 1

25x + 50y = 50,000

x + y = 1250

Explanation:

Let x = number of $25 tickets

Let y = number of $50 tickets

Equation of the the money of ticket sales:

25x + 50y = 50,000

Equation of the number of tickets:

x + y = 1250

Answer:

25x + 50y = 50,000

x + y = 1250
