Tickets for the homecoming dance cost $10 with ASB and $12 without ASB. If 920 tickets were sold and a total of $9,799 was collected, how many of each were sold?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Number of tickets with ASB is 620 and number of tickets without ASB is 300.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of tickets for the homecoming dance with ASB and without ASB are x and y respectively.

Total number of tickets = 920 tickets

[tex]x+y=920[/tex]   ...(1)

Tickets for the homecoming dance cost $10 with ASB and $12 without ASB. Total collected amount is $9,799

[tex]10x+12y=9799[/tex]       ...(2)

From (1) and (2), we get

[tex]10(920-y)+12y=9799[/tex]

[tex]9200-10y+12y=9799[/tex]

[tex]2y=9799-9200[/tex]

[tex]2y=599[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2.

[tex]y=299.5[/tex]

But number of tickets cannot be in decimal.

[tex]y\approx 300[/tex]

Put y=300 in (1).

[tex]x+300=920[/tex]

[tex]x=920-300[/tex]

[tex]x=620[/tex]

Therefore, number of tickets with ASB is 620 and number of tickets without ASB is 300.
