Question

Suppose that there are two types of tickets to a show: advance and same-day. Advance tickets cost $40 and same-day tickets cost $20. For one performance,

there were 65 tickets sold in all, and the total amount paid wfor them was $2100. How many advanced tickets where sold

Answer 1

40

Explanation:

$40 x 40 = $1600 (40 advanced tickets sold)

$20 x 25 = $500 (25 same-day tickets sold)

$1600 + $500 = $2100 (total amount paid)

40 + 25 = 65 (total number of tickets sold)
