Question

Basketball tickets were $5 for the floor seats and $2 for the grandstand seats

If 210 people attended and paid $660, how many people bought floor seats?

Answer 1

Good seats sold=80

Poor seats sold=130

Explanation:

g + p = 210 seats. Then p = 210 - g.

($5)g + ($2)p = $660. Substite 210 - g for p,

($5)g + ($2)(210 - g) = $660

Simplify, 5g + 420 - 2g = 660 => 3g = 240 => g = 80

80 and 130
