A music festival charges $54 and 95 per ticket sold on the day of the event. A ticket purchased before the festival cost only $39.95. There were only 20,000 tickets sold for a total of $925,000 how many tickets did they sell at the music festival? How many tickets did they sell before the music festival?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: b=number of ticets sold before
a=number of tickets sold after

cost of a ticket=number of tickets times cost per ticket
beforecost=39.95b
aftercost=54.95a

total cost=925000
39.95b+54.95a=925000

total number tickets=20000
b+a=20000

we have

39.95b+54.95a=925000
b+a=20000
multiply second equation by -39.95 and add to first equatin
39.95b+54.95a=925000
-39.95b-39.95a=-799000 +
0b+15a=126000

15a=126000
divide bot sides by 15
a=8400

sub back
b+a=20000
b+8400=20000
minus 8400 both sides
b=11600

11,600 tickets sold before
8400 tickets sold after

I need an equation for this problem: A small golf club manufacturer is concerned about their monthly costs. The shop has fixed costs of $23,250 per month to run in addition to the $145 in materials per set of golf clubs produced. If the company wants to break-even making 100 sets of clubs per month, what should they charge for each set? Recall that the break-even point is when revenue equals costs.
