    Let there be a advanced tickets and s same day tickets, Then:-

    a + s = 40

    20a + 30s = 950 ... (1)

    Multiply first equation by - 30

    -30a - 30x = - 1200 ... (2)

    Adding equations (1) and (2) : -

    -10a = - 250

    a = - 250/-10 = 25

    So s = 40 - 25 = 15

    Answer: - advanced tickets cost $25 and same day cost $15.
