The band members sold tickets to their concert performance. Some were $3 tickets, and some were $8 tickets. There were 10 mkore than twice as many $8 tickets sold as $3 tickets. The total sales were $1,488. How many tickets of each price were sold

the number of $3 ticket that were sold is 72

the number of $8 ticket that were sold is 154

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of $3 ticket that were sold.

Let y represent the number of $8 ticket that were sold.

The band members sold tickets to their concert performance. Some were $3 tickets, and some were $8 tickets. The total sales were $1,448. It means that

3x + 8y = 1448- - - - - - - - - -- - - -1

There were 10 more than twice as many $8 tickets sold as $3 tickets. It means that

y = 2x + 10

Substituting y = 2x + 10 into equation 1, it becomes

3x + 8(2x + 10) = 1448

3x + 16x + 80 = 1448

19x = 1448 - 80 = 1368

x = 1368/19

x = 72

y = 2x + 10 = 2 × 72 + 10

y = 154

answer: a.

step-by-step explanation: the answer is a. because, you need to converge the fractions to find a solution.
