A promoter needs to make $50,700 from the sale of 1100 tickets. She charges $43 for some tickets and $60 for the others. (a) If there are x of the $43 tickets sold and y of the $60 tickets sold, write an equation that states that the sum of the tickets sold is 1100. (b) How much money is received for the sale of x tickets for $43 each? (c) How much money is received for the sale of y tickets for $60 each? (d) Write an equation that states that the total amount received from the sale is $50,700. (e) Solve the equations simultaneously to find how many tickets of each type must be sold to yield the $50,700.
