Spartan Stadium at San Jose State University in California has a seating capacity of about 30,000. A newspaper article states that the Spartans get four times as many tickets as the visiting team. Suppose S represents the number of tickets for the Spartans and V represents the number of tickets for the visiting team’s fans. Write and solve a system of equations to find how many tickets each team gets.
Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:Number of tickets for the Spartans = 24000Number of tickets for the visiting team’s fans = 6000Step-by-step explanation:Let the no. of tickets for the visiting team’s fans be x.so,according to the questionno. of tickets for the Spartans = 4xtotal seating capacity of Spartan Stadium = 30000now, we see that, 4x+x = 300005x = 30000x = 30000/5x = 6000Number of tickets for the visiting team’s fans = x = 600Number of tickets for the Spartans = 4x = 4(6000) = 24000
