Answer:
number of tickets of $5 sold = 418 and number of tickets of $1.5 sold = 105
Step-by-step explanation:
Let y be the number of $5 tickets sold and x be the number of $1.50 tickets sold.
Now from the statement " Number of $1.50 tickets sold was 2 less than the four times the number of $5 tickets sold".
Equation will be x = 4y - 2
4y - x = 2 ---------(1)
For second equation statement is " The pep club raised $1152 from the ticket sales".
Equation will be 5y + (1.50)x = 1152 -------(2)
Now we multiply equation (1) by 1.5 and add it to equation (2)
6y - 1.5x + (5y + 1.5x) = 3 + 1152
11y = 1155
y = 105
Now we put y = 105 in equation (1)
x = 4×105 - 2
x = 420 -2
x = 418
Therefore, number of tickets of $5 sold = 418 and number of tickets of $1.5 sold = 105
