a theater charges $ 12 for seats in the orchestra and $ 8 for seats in the balcony . on a certain night , a total of 370 tickets were sold for a total cost of $ 3320 . how many more tickets were sold that night for seats in the balcony than for seats in the orchestra ?
orchestra seats - a balcony seats - b a + b = 370 and 12 a + 8 b = 3320 solving equations simultaneously ( multiply equation 1 with 8 and subtract from second equation ) 4 a = 3320 - 8 * 370 = 3320 - 2960 = 360 i . e . a = 90 and b = 370 - 90 = 280 more seats in balcony than orchestra = b - a = 280 - 90 = 190 answer : option b
subtract(subtract(370, divide(subtract(3320, multiply(8, 370)), subtract(12, 8))), divide(subtract(3320, multiply(8, 370)), subtract(12, 8)))
