Question

There were 44,000 people at a ball game in Los Angeles. The day's receipts were $ 369,000. How many people paid $ 13.00 for reserved seats and how many paid $ 6.00 for general admission?

Answer 1

assume x = people who paid $ 13.00 for reserved seats
and y = people who paid $ 6.00 for general admission

the total people is 44000
so x+y = 44000

The day's receipts were $ 369,000
13x+6y=369000

then solve those equations to get x and y

Answer 2

you'll get x = 15000
and y = 29000

Answer 3
