Answer:C

Explanation:

The prices of tickets for the local rock concert were $16 for Friday night and $28 for Saturday night. The total attendance for the two nights was 1090. If the total receipts were $24,232, how many people attended Saturday night?

A) 251 people

B) 524 people

C) 566 people

D) 1132 people

Answer 2

Let x: number of tickets that sold on Friday, y: number of tickets that sold on Saturday night

16x+28y=24232
x+y=1090
x=1090-y,
so 16(1090-y)+28y=24232
17440-16y+28y=24232
12y=6792
y=566. As a result, there will be 566 tickets sold on Saturday night. Hope it help!
