Admission to a baseball game is $2.00 for general admission and $5.50 for reserved seats. The receipts were $3577.00 for 1197 paid admissions. How many of each ticket were sold?

Let g be the number of tickets for general admission
Let r be the number of tickets for reserved seats

We have two equations:

1. g + r = 1197
2. 2g + 5.50r = 3577

We can solve this a few ways, but let's use substitution using our simultaneous equations calculator:

• r = 338
• g = 859
