Question 4 • FL-1200330-Algebra 2 CR

Tickets for a celebrity golf tournament were sold before the tournament and on the day of the tournament. After reviewing ticket sales, the tournament director found that 150 fewer tickets were purchased on the day of the tournament than before the tournament. A total of 898 tickets were sold. How many tickets were sold on the day of the tournament?

Answer
A
314 tickets
B
374 tickets
C
524 tickets
D
748 tickets

Explanation

Let x be the number of tickets sold on the day of the tournament. Then x + 150 were sold before the tournament, so x + (x + 150) = 898. Solving gives 2x = 748 and x = 374, so 374 tickets were sold on the day of the tournament.
