Answer 1

741 general and 306 reserved

Explanation:

Let g = number of general admission tickets.

Let r = number of reserved seat tickets.

g + r = 1047

3.5g + 7r = 4735.5

g = 1047 - r

3.5(1047 - r) + 7r = 4735.5

3664.5 - 3.5r + 7r = 4735.5

3.5r = 1071

r = 306

g = 1047 - r

g = 1047 - 306

g = 741

Answer: 741 general and 306 reserved
