Answer:

6850 & 650

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is partly incomplete as it didn't state the cost of ticket sold. Also, it didn't state the total number of tickets sold. But, assuming that the tickets sold were $15 and $25 tickets, and the total number of tickets sold was 7500, then we say that

Let x = the number of $15 tickets sold

Let y = the number of $25 tickets sold

x + y = 7500 y = 7500 - x

15x + 25y = 119000

15x + 25(7500-x) = 119000

15x + 187500 - 25x = 119000

-10x = -68500

x = 68500 / 10

x = 6850 tickets at $15 each

Remember from the first calculation, we said x + y = 7500, then

y = 7500 - 6850

y = 650 tickets at $25 each

All you have to do is substitute the values I assumed for your given value. Thanks
