Question

a concert venue sold two types of tickets for an upcoming concert: reserved tickets and general admission tickets. reserved tickets sold for $50.00 each and general admission tickets sold for $34.00 each. if 1,520 tickets were sold for a total of $64,000, which of the following systems could be used to find the number of reserved tickets, r, and the number of general admission tickets, g, that were sold? choose 1 answer: (a) 50g + 34r = 64,000 r + g = 1,520 (b) 50r + 34g = 64,000 r + g = 1,520 (c) 50g + 34r = 1,520 r + g = 64,000 (d) 50r + 34g = 1,520 r + g = 64,000

Explanation:

Step1: Set up equation for total number of tickets

The total number of tickets sold is the sum of reserved tickets ($r$) and general - admission tickets ($g$). So $r + g=1520$.

Step2: Set up equation for total money

Reserved tickets cost $50$ each and general - admission tickets cost $34$ each, and the total money from ticket sales is $64000$. So the money equation is $50r + 34g=64000$.

Answer:

B. $50r + 34g = 64,000$, $r + g = 1,520$
