There were 254 tickets purchased for a major league baseball game. the lower box tickets cost $12.50 and the upper box tickets cost $10.00. the total amount of money spent was $2745.00. how many of each kind of ticket were purchase

L = Lower box tickets amount.

U = Upper box tickets amount.

we know the whole amount sold were 254 of both, thus L + U = 254.

since we know the price of L is 12.5 for each, then the amount of money sold total for all of them has to be 12.5 * L, or 12.5L.

and the U is 10, so its total amount of money for it is 10U.

we also know that the total amount for both spent was 2745, thus 12.5L + 10U = 2745.



so, 172 Upper box tickets were sold then.

how many Lower box tickets were sold?  well, L = 254 - U
