Question

can smo pls reply asap to my question? there are 6,500 seats at nat bailey stadium. the day's receipts for a canadians' baseball game was $111,250. how many people paid $20 for reserved seats and how many people paid $15 for general admission? setup and solve a system of equations. pls explain the steps to how u got the answer. ty.

Answer 1

let's let r = # of reserved seats and g = # of general admission seats

if each reserved seat is $20, then for (r) reserved seats, they make 20*r
same logic with the general admission, 15*g
the total revenue was $111,250

therefore, 20r + 15g = 111250

there are 6500 total seats, so r + g = 6500

your system is therefore:

20r + 15g = 111250
r + g = 6500

solve for r and g

Answer 2

how do i solve for r & g?
