Do not open this booklet until you are told to do so. Show all
work required to solve the problems. Incorrect answers not
supported by work will receive no partial credit. You may use
a calculator on any part of the exam, but you may not share a
calculator with another student. If you have any questions, ask
one of the proctors.

6 12.
There is a basketball game at Syracuse University. If you buy tickets at least 24
hours before the game, the cost of each ticket is $15. However, if you buy tickets at
the game, the costs are $20 for students and $25 for non-students. 325 people buy
their tickets ahead of time. A total of 755 people attend the game and the total
proceeds of all ticket sales are $14,625. How many students and how many non-
students bought their tickets right before the game at the ticket booth?
a. (2 points) Identify the variables in this situation and note what each variable
represents,
b. (2 points) Using the problem situation described above, identify the relations
among the variables, Write these relations using the variables you defined in
part a. Set up the linear system, but do not solve yet!
¢. (3 points) Solve the system of linear equations. That is, solve for your
variables defined in part a.
