Admission to a baseball game is $3.00 for general admission and $6.50 for reserved seats. the receipts were $4536.00 for 1050 paid admissions. how many of each ticket were sold? (round to nearest integer if necessary.)
Let g=general admissions r=reserved seats g+r=967 3.50g+6.50r=4491.50 Solve for g in the first equation g=967-r Substitute the value of g in the second equation 3.50(967-r)+6.50r=4491.50 Distribute 3384.50-3.50r+6.50r=4491.50 3384.50+3r=4491.50 3r=1107 r=369 Now plug in the value of r into one of the original equations g+369=967 g=598 There were 598 general admission tickets sold and 369 reserved seat tickets sold
