7. A small concert venue sold a total of 695 tickets for a concert. The ticket prices were $80 and $32. The
total revenue from ticket sales was $32 560. Determine the number of tickets sold at each price.

8. An office assistant placed two orders from a bakery when preparing for two morning business meetings.
The first order was for 12 chocolate croissants and 25 gourmet bagels and the total bill was $104.40.
The second order was for 15 chocolate croissants and 18 gourmet bagels and the total bill was $98.70.
Determine the cost of each item.
9. A small sports league is booking a venue to host its end-of-season banquet. One of the venues charges
$700 to book the space plus $24.50 per meal for each guest. Another venue charges $936.50 to book the
space plus $19 per meal for each guest. Determine the number of guests for which both venues will have
the same total cost and then determine the average cost per guest.

10. A bulk food store ordered two kinds of muesli. “Fruit First” boasts a whopping 26% raisins while
“Morning Sunshine” contains only 8% raisins. Determine the amount of each kind of muesli that must
be mixed together to prepare 7.5 kg of a blend called “Nature’s Bounty” that includes 23% raisins.

7. There were 215 tickets sold for $80 and 480 tickets sold for $32.

8. The cost of one chocolate croissant is $3.70 and the cost of one gourmet bagel is $2.40.

9. The cost is the same for both options when there are 43 guests. The average cost per guest is $40.78.

10. They need to mix 6.25 kg of muesli having 26% raisins with 1.25 kg of muesli having 8% raisins.
