Question

John is selling tickets to an event. Attendees can either buy a general admission ticket, x, or a VIP ticket, y. The general admission tickets are $55 in the VIP tickets are $70. If he knows he sold a total of 25 tickets and made $1480 how many of each type did he sell?

Answer 1

Explanation:

55x + 70y = 1480

x + y = 25

55x + 70y = 1480

-55x -55y = -1375

15y = 105

y = 7 VIP tickets sold

x + 7 = 25

x = 18 general admission tickets

(18,7)
