Last tuesday, regal cinemas sold a total of 8500 movie tickets. proceeds totaled 64000. tickets can be bought in one of the 3 ways: a matinee admission costs $5, student admission is $6 all day, and regular admissions are $8.50. how many of each type of ticket was sold if twice as many students tickets were sold as matinee tickets?

Number of student ticket is $571

Number of matinee ticket is $1142

Number of regular ticket  is  $6,787

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of student ticket be x

Let number of matinee ticket be 2x

Number of regular ticket be 8500 - (x + 2x)

                                              = 8500 - 3x

Total cost is:

$( 5x + ( 6 x 2x) + (8500 - 3x) x 8)

= $( 5x + 12x + 68000 + 24x)

= $( 68000 - 7x)

From the condition given

68000 - 7x = 64000

7x = 4000

x = 4000 / 7

x = 571.43

x = 571

Number of student ticket is $571

Number of matinee ticket is 2 x 571 = $1142

Number of regular ticket  = 8500 - (3 x 571)

                                              = 8500 - 1713

                                              = $6,787

i get you, what you should do is think of the positive things that would come out of it. it will make yours parents proud and raise your grade. you should always try and if you can't focus tell the teacher.
