Post by: majarm on Nov 25, 2017 The local amateur soccer club spent $1640 on tickets to a professional hockey game. If the club bought 2.5 times as many eight-dollar tickets than the number of twelve-dollar tickets and four fewer fifteen-dollar tickets than 7/10 the number of twelve dollar tickets, how many of each type of ticket did the club buy?

Number of $8 tickets = 2.5x Number of $15 tickets = x - 4 Value of the $12 tickets = $12x Value of the $8 tickets = $8(2.5x) Value of the $15 tickets = $15( x - 4) ∴ 12x + 8(2.5x) + 15 (7/10x - 4) = $1640 12x + 20x + 10.5x - 60 = 1640 42.5x = 1700 x = 40 Sales were 40 $12 tickets, 100 $8 tickets, and 24 $15 tickets. |
