    Answer:total amount that was was collected is $8500

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x represent the total number of floor seats sold.

    Let y represent the total number of VIP seats sold.

    The total number of tickets sold for the fund raising concert was 500. This means that

    x + y = 500

    Four times as many floor seats were sold than VIP seats. It means that

    x = 4y

    Substituting x = 4y into x + y = 500, it becomes

    4y + y = 500

    5y = 500

    y = 500/5 = 100

    x = 4y = 4 * 100

    x = 400

    If each floor seat ticket sold for $10 and each VIP ticket sold for $45, the total money collected would be

    10 * 400 + 45 * 100 = 4000 + 4500

    = $8500
