Question

Tickets for a high school football game cost $2.50 each if purchased in advance. They cost $3.75 each if bought at the gate on the day of the game. For a particular game , 250 tickets were sold at the gate. If the sales totaled $1750, how many tickets were sold in advance?

Answer 1

1,500 tickets were sold in advance.

Explanation:

$ 1,750 - 250 tickets = 1,500 tickets

Answer 2

250*3.75=937.5

1750-937.5=812.5

812.5/2.5=325

325 tickets were sold in advance :)
