Applying Linear Systems Math 8: Unit 3 Mrs. Tyrpak
Solve graphically and algebraically Tickets for a concert are $40 for main-floor seats and $25 for upper-level seats. A total of 2000 concert tickets were sold. The ticket sales were $62,000. Let m represent the number of main-floor tickets and u the number of upper-level tickets.
Step 1: Write equations • Write an equation about the total number of tickets sold. • Write an equation about the ticket sales.
Step 2: Solve Solve the system to find how many main-floor tickets were sold and how many upper-level tickets were sold.
