Gunner Mays · Answer 1

To answer this item, we let x be the number of grandstand tickets and y be the number of bleacher tickets. The system of linear equation that would best represent the given is,

x + y = 5716

0.65x + 0.40y = 3416.90

The values of x and y are 4522 and 1194, respectively. Thus, the answer to this item is 1194.
