Tickets to an outdoor concert cost $15 for general admission tickets and $25 for VIP tickets. Ticket sales totaled $4500. Write an equation that models this relationship. Let x = the number of general admission tickets sold Let y = the number of VIP tickets sold

Sagot :

Answer:  15x + 25y = 4500

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost per general admission tickets is $15  and if x is used to represent the number of general admission tickets then 15 has to be multiplied by  x  and that gives the expression   15x  

The same with the VIP tickets, each one cost $25 and y is used to represent the number of VIP tickets sold, so if you want to find out how much a number of VIP tickets cost then you will have to multiply 25 by y  and that derives the expression  25y.

A combination of both tickets has to equal $4500 because that is amount they were both sold to get in total.

15x + 25y = 4500
