Question

Suppose that there are two types of tickets to a show: advance and same-day. The combined cost of one advance ticket and one same-day ticket is $50. For one performance, 40 advance tickets and 15 same-day tickets were sold. The total amount paid for the tickets was $1125. What was the price of each kind of ticket?

Answer 1

Advance tickets: $15

Same-day tickets: $35

Explanation:

You know the steps.

x - price of advance tickets

y - price of same-day tickets

x+y=50

40x+15y=1125

25x=375

x=15

y=50-15=35

Hope this helps!
