A small theater with 200 seats sells two kinds of tickets for a performance. Premium tickets sell for $20 each and Standard tickets sell for $15 each. At a sold-out performance, $3400 was collected in ticket sales. How many tickets of each type were sold?
Accepted Solution
A:
p + s = 200......p = 200 - s 20p + 15s = 3400
20(200 - s) + 15s = 3400 4000 - 20s + 15s = 3400 -20s + 15s = 3400 - 4000 -5s = - 600 s = -600/-5 s = 120 <=== there were 120 standard tickets sold
p + s = 200 p + 120 = 200 p = 200 - 120 p = 80 <=== there were 80 premium tickets sold
