An auditorium earned $25,000 in sold−out concert ticket sales. Front section tickets cost $75 per seat and back section tickets cost $50 per seat. The number of front section seats is twice the number of back section seats. How many seats are in the front section?

Question

anonymous · Answer

if the number of back seat is say $x$ then the number of front seats is $2x$ 
therefore $50x+75\times 2x=25000$ or 
$$50x+150x=25000$$ or 
$$200x=25000$$

solve for $x$ but then make sure to double the answer because it asks for "front seats"
