295 general admission tickets and 388 upper reserved tickets were purchased.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of general admission tickets be = x

Let the number of upper reserved tickets be = y

In total there were 683 tickets sold.

So, we get         ........(1)

The general admission tickets cost $6.50 and the upper reserved tickets cost $8.00 and total amount of money spent was $5021.50.

So, we have another equation:

           ......(2)

Multiplying (1) by 8 and subtracting (2) from (1), we get;

x = 295

And

So,

y = 388

So, 295 general admission tickets and 388 upper reserved tickets were purchased.
