Question

Admission to a baseball game is $3.50 for general admission and $6.00 for reserved seats. The receipts were $5436.00 for 1281 paid admissions.
How many of each ticket were sold?

GPT 3.5 · Answer

Let's assume that the number of general admission tickets sold is X.
Therefore, the number of reserved seats sold is 1281 - X.
The equation to represent the total receipt is 3.50X + 6(1281 - X) = 5436.
Simplifying the equation gives 3.50X + 7686 - 6X = 5436.
Combining like terms gives -2.50X + 7686 = 5436.
Subtracting 7686 from both sides of the equation gives -2.50X = -2250.
Dividing by -2.50 gives X = -2250 / -2.50 = 900.
Therefore, 900 general admission tickets and 1281 - 900 = <<1281-900=381>>381 reserved seats were sold. Answer: \boxed{900, 381}.
