see you know that there were 282 tpasses sold right
so the equation is
x+y=282 right?
where x and y are the respective types of tickets sold ...?? understood?
undeadknight26 (undeadknight26):
yes.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
now x+y=282
hence y=282-x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
got that?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
now see the amount collect is 10680 $ right
that is =>50x+20y=10680 .... try to think a lil' here
now substitite that equation which i gave you in the previos comment and viola ... you get x to be 168
