Answer:
[tex]7x+16y=6,920...(1)[/tex]
[tex]y=3x+20...(2)[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of lawn tickets and y be the number of stadium tickets.
We have been given that baseball fans can buy $7 to sit in the lawn section or $16 for stadium seats. This means that cost of x lawn tickets will be 7x and cost of y stadium tickets will be 16y.
In addition, ticket sales at last night's game totaled $6,920. We can represent this information as:
[tex]7x+16y=6,920...(1)[/tex]
We are also told that the number of stadium tickets sold was 20 more than 3 times the number of lawn tickets. We can represent this information as:
[tex]y=3x+20...(2)[/tex]
Therefore, our desired system of equations will be:
[tex]7x+16y=6,920...(1)[/tex]
[tex]y=3x+20...(2)[/tex]
