Answer:

The equation below can be used to solve for p

260(p) + 80(p/2) = 7500  

The price of the an orchestra seat is $25

Step-by-step explanation:

The orchestra section = 260 seats

Balcony section = 80 seats

let the price of orchestra seats  =  $ p

According to the question the price of the balcony seats is half the price of the orchestra seats.

Balcony seat price = $1/2 p

The equation can be expressed as follows

The equation below can be used to solve for p

260(p) + 80(p/2) = 7500  

260p + 40p = 7500

300p = 7500

p = 7500/300

p = $25

The price of the an orchestra seat is $25
