Answer:

59 tournament passes and 36 one-day passes were sold.

Explanation:

Since the first day of a water polo tournament the total value of tickets sold was $ 1540, and one-day passes sold for $ 10 and tournament passes sold for $ 20, and the number of tournament passes sold was 23 more than the number of day passes. sold, to determine how many day passes and tournament passes were sold, the following calculation must be performed:

20 x 33 + 10 x 10 = 760

20 x 63 + 10 x 40 = 1,660

20 x 58 + 10 x 35 = 1,510

20 x 59 + 10 x 36 = 1,540

Thus, 59 tournament passes and 36 one-day passes were sold.
