Stupid and suffering math's misery...
I ended up taking calculus last semester because of some lack of knowledge on my academic advisor's part. Was failing miserably in the middle of the semester. So....dropped the class. This semester, taking on a lower level math course since I need the math credit to graduate. Quantitative models and decision making. Should be a piece of cake. Annnnnnnd....here I am already hitting a brick wall.
I'm sure Steve could probably do this in his sleep. But does anyone know...
puzzle. A jazz concert brought in $165,000 on the sale of 8,000 tickets. If the tickets sold for $15 and $25 each, how many of each type of ticket were sold?
I'm sure it's probably the simplest thing ever with a common formula that I just need to pop this and that into, but I feel like I could kill something right now.
Any ideas or assistance would be so incredibly greatly appreciated. It's not the answer I really need...just how to do the problem. Answers are in the back of the book.
