Solve the problem There were 36,000 people at a ball game in Los Angeles. The day's receipts were $304,000. How many people paid $14 for reserved seats and how many paid $6 for general

admission?



paid $14 for reserved seats and

paid $6 for general admission

11,000 paid $14 for reserved seats.

25,000 paid $6 for general admission.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to establish the system of equations:

x= number of people that pay $14

y= number of people that pay $6

14*x + 6*y= $304,000

x + y= 36,000

Now, we isolate x in one equation and substitute it in the other one:

x= 36,000 - y

14*(36,000 - y) + 6y = 304,000

504,000 - 8y = 304,000

200,000 = 8y

25,000 = y

x= 36,000 - 25,000

x= 11,000

11,000 paid $14 for reserved seats.

25,000 paid $6 for general admission.

-2x + 7 = 7

subtract 7 from both sides.

-2x = 0

divide both sides by -2.

x = 0
