Regal Cinemas sold a total of 8500 movie tickets. Proceeds totaled $64,600. Tickets can be bought in one of 3 ways: a matinee admission cost $5, student's admission is $6 all day, and regular admission are $8.50. How many matinee tickets were sold if twice as many student tickets were sold as matinee tickets? * Only type the number of matinee tickets that were sold

900

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given you can write the following equations:

x+y+z=8500 (1)

5x+6y+8.50z=64600 (2)

y=2x (3)

First, you can replace (3) in (2) and (1):

x+2x+z=8500

3x+z= 8500 (4)

5x+6(2x)+8.50z=64600

5x+12x+8.50z=64600

17x+8.50z=64600 (5)

Now, you have two equations:

3x+z= 8500 (4)

17x+8.50z=64600 (5)

Then, you can isolate z in (4):

z=8500-3x (6)

Next, you can replace (6) in (5):

17x+8.50(8500-3x)=64600

17x+72250-25.5x=64600

7650=8.5x

x=7650/8.5

x=900

You can replace the value of x in (3) to find y:

y=2x

y=2*900

y=1800

Finally, you can replace the value of x in (6) to find z:

z=8500-3(900)

z=8500-2700

z=5800

According to this, the answer is that 900 matinee tickets were sold.
