Chi Chi · Answer 1

748 tickets. You take away 150 from 898 because 150 less tickets were sold the day of the golf tournament

Jacqueline Edwards · Answer 2

X = # of before tickets, y = # of day of tournament tickets

x + y = 898

x = y + 150

y + 150 + y = 898

2y + 150 = 898

2y = 898 - 150

2y = 748

y = 748/2

y = 374 < = = = day of tournament

x + y = 898

x + 374 = 898

x = 898 - 374

x = 524 <===before the tournament
