Suppose that there are two types of tickets to a show:Advance and same-day. Advance tickets cost $35 and same day tickets cost $15. For one performance, there were 65 tickets sold in all, and the total amount paid for them was $1475. How many tickets of each type were sold?

Answer :

Answer:    30 $15 tickets and 20 $35 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

.X%2BY=50

2.15X%2B35Y=1150

From eq. 1,

15X%2B15Y=750

Subtract from eq. 2,

15X%2B35Y-15X-15Y=1150-750

20Y=400

Y=20

Then,

X%2B20=50

X=30

30 $15 tickets and 20 $35 ticket
