Answer:
The number of tickets sold at the gate is [tex] G = 211.25[/tex]
The number of tickets sold in advance is [tex] A = 311.25 [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The cost of a tickets at the gate is [tex]a = \$ 5[/tex]
The cost of a ticket in advance is [tex]b = \$ 3[/tex]
Let the number of ticket sold in the gate be G
Let the number of ticket sold in advance be A
From the question we are told that
One hundred more tickets were sold in advance than at the gate and this can be mathematically represented as
[tex]G + 100 = A[/tex]
From the question we are told that
The total revenue from ticket sales was $1990 and this can be mathematically represented as
[tex]5 G + 3A = 1990[/tex]
substituting for A in the equation above
[tex]5 G + 3[G + 100]= 1990[/tex]
[tex]5 G + 3G + 300= 1990[/tex]
[tex] 8G + 300= 1990[/tex]
[tex] 8G = 1690[/tex]
=> [tex] G = 211.25[/tex]
Substituting this for G in the above equation
[tex]5 [211.25] + 3A = 1990[/tex]
=> [tex] 3A = 1990 - 1056.25[/tex]
=> [tex] A = 311.25 [/tex]
