Answer: General audience tickets= 700

Balcony tickets = 200

Explanation:

Your question isn't complete. But here is an identical question.

A concert brought in $14000 on the sale of 900 tickets. Two types of tickets were sold: General audience tickets which cost $12 each and balcony tickets which cost $28 each. How many tickets of each type were sold?

Let the number of general audience tickets be a

Let the number of balcony tickets be b.

The information can be formed into the following equation:

a + b = 900 ......... i

12a + 28b = 14000 ........ ii

Multiply equation i by 12

Multiply equation ii by 1

12a + 12b = 10800 ........ iii

12a + 28b = 14000 ........ iv

Subtract iv from iii

-16b = -3200

b = 3200/16

b = 200

Number of balcony tickets = 200

Put the value of b into the equation I

a + b = 900

a + 200 = 900

a = 900 - 200

a = 700

Number of general audience tickets is 700
