Answer:

997 admission tickets were sold and 361 reserved seats were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a couple of ways to calculate this.

Multiply the cost of an admission ticket by the total paid admissions:

[tex]4 \times 1358 = 5432[/tex]

Subtract this from the total cost:

[tex]5973.5 - 5432 = 541.5[/tex]

Divide the above value by the difference between the cost of the two tickets:

[tex]5.5 - 4 = 1.5[/tex]

[tex]541.5 \div 1.5 = 361[/tex]

Now we know the number of general admission tickets, we can subtract the cost of this from the total cost:

[tex]361 \times 5.5 = 1985.5\\5973.50 - 1985.5 = 3988[/tex]

Divide this by the cost of general admission:

[tex]3988 \div 4 = 997\\[/tex]

So there were 997 admission tickets sold and 361 reserved seats sold.

Hope this helps!
