Answer:
The equation below can be used to solve for p
260(p) + 80(p/2) = 7500
The price of the an orchestra seat is $25
Explanation:
The orchestra section = 260 seats
Balcony section = 80 seats
let the price of orchestra seats = $ p
According to the question the price of the balcony seats is half the price of the orchestra seats.
Balcony seat price = $1/2 p
The equation can be expressed as follows
The equation below can be used to solve for p
260(p) + 80(p/2) = 7500
260p + 40p = 7500
300p = 7500
p = 7500/300
p = $25
The price of the an orchestra seat is $25
