Answer:

Tickets to sit on the bench (b) = 150

Tickets to sit on the lawn (l) = 200

Step-by-step explanation:

Tickets to sit on a bench (b)cost $75 each.

Tickets to sit on the lawn (l) cost $40 each

350 tickets had been sold

$19,250 had been raised through tickets sales

This forms a simultaneous equation:

b + l = 350 ... (i)

75b + 40l = 19,250 ... (ii)

Multiplying (i) by 40 and (ii) by 1 we get;

40b + 40l = 14,000 ... (i)

75b + 40l = 19,250 ... (ii)

Subtracting (ii) - (i) we get;

35b = 5250

b = 5250 ÷ 35 = 150
