Answer 6

The prices of tickets for the local rock concert were $16 for Friday night and $28 for Saturday night. The total attendance for the two nights was 1090. If the total receipts were $24,232, how many people atten saturday?

Answer 7

16f + 28s = 24,232
s + f = 1090 --> f = 1090 - s
now sub 1090 - s in for f in the 1st equation
16(1090 - s) + 28s = 24,232
17440 - 16s + 28s = 24,232
17440 + 12s = 24,232
12s = 24,232 - 17440
12s = 6792
s = 6792/12
s = 566

s + f = 1090
566 + f = 1090
f = 1090 - 566
f = 524

Saturday's attendance = 566
Friday's attendance = 524
