Admission to a baseball game is $2.50 for general admission and $5.50 for reserved seats. The receipts were $3702.00 for 1140 paid admissions. How many ticket were sold?

X = number of general admission tickets

y = number of reserved seat tickets

2.50x + 5.50y = 3702.00

x + y = 1140

After you solve this system of equations you find that

x = 856 general admission tickets

y = 284 reserved seat tickets
