Business Math

A football stadium has 60,000 seats. The manager divides the stadium into two sections for the exhibition games, the games the home team plays outside its division, and the games it plays within its division. The tickets are worth $19 in section A and $14 in section B. Assuming that all tickets can be sold, how many seats must he assign to each section on says of an exhibition game, a game outside the division, and a game within the division to bring in the following revenues: $970,000 for each exhibition game, $990,000 for each game outside the division, and $1,120,000 for each game within the division.

  1. Patrick,

    You gave us 2 examples: real life examples. BUT you did not explain about how to solve them? and how to use what we learned in class to solve them??

    So, you have to edit your post:

    1) Tell us WHERE you got these problems?
    2) Solve them for us!

    Good Luck, Zeina
