Answer:

  • 4300 $25 tickets
  • 3800 $15 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of $25 tickets sold. Then the total revenue is ...

  25x + 15(8100-x) = 164500

  10x + 121500 = 164500 . . . . . . collect terms

  10x = 43000 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 121500

  x = 4300 . . . . . . . divide by 10

Then 8100 -x = 3800.

The number of $25 tickets is 4300.

The number of $15 tickets is 3800.
