Football Question

$35 tickets - 14000
$20 tickets - 22500

I found this by making an equation and setting it equal to the total revenue.After that I solved for x.
$940,000=35(number of $35 tickets) + 20(number of $20 tickets)
(x)-being the total number of 35 dollar tickets
(36500-x) being the total number of 20 dollar tickets

Creative solutions

As I just said in class, we don't use creativity often enough to solve 'typical' unit problems. Take a few minutes with the people in your group, and discuss electronically (either as comments or separate posts), the solution to a problem like this.....use any resources that you can find.

Record, in detail, your 'thought' process in solving this problem...Have fun!

team realized ticket revenue of $940 000 for the game. How many of
each type of ticket were sold?"
