At a Van Halen concert with $2,275,000 in total ticket sales, the number of tickets sold in Section A was 100 less than three times the number of tickets sold for Section B, and the number of tickets sold in Section C was half the number of tickets sold in Section B. If Section B tickets cost $300, Section A tickets cost $250 and Section C ticket cost $200, how many tickets were sold in Section C?

A. 500
B. 1000
C. 1500
D. 2000
E. 3000

Let the number of tickers in Section A be A, the number of tickers in Section B be B and the number of tickers in Section C be C.

From the question stem, A = 3B-100 & C = B/2

And, 250A + 300B + 200C = 2275000
=> 250(3B-100) + 300B + 200(B/2) = 2275000
=> 1150B = 2300000
=> B = 1000

A. 500
B. 1000
C. 1500
D. 2000
E. 3000

given
300b+250a+200c = 2275,000---(1)
also
a=3b-100
2c=b
we can write ; a = 6c-100
substitute values of a,b,c in (1)

600c+1500c-25000+200c = 2275,000
solve for c ; 1000
OPTION B
