Ticket Allocation Model

Variables

Let x1 represent the number of tickets sold at $25 and let x2 represent the number of tickets sold at $35.

Total Number of Tickets

The total number of tickets sold is given by x1 + x2.

Total Receipts

The receipts generated by the $25 tickets 25x1.

The receipts generated by the $35 tickets is 35x2.

The total receipts for all of the tickets is given by 25x1 + 35x2.

The Mathematical Model

Number of Tickets Constraint:  x1 +   x2 =   10,000
Total Receipts Constraint:   25x1 + 35x2 = $275,000
Non-negative Constraints:    x1, x2 ≥ 0
