Work Step by Step
Let x= the number of people who paid in advance
y = the number of people who paid at the door
Write the equation from the situation:
$25x+35y=7495$
Plug in given values:
$25.220+35y=7495$
Solve for y:
$5500+35y=7495$
$35y=1995$
$y=57$
The total amount of money collected in advance: $220 \times 25 =5500$
The total amount of money collected at the door: $57 \times 35 =1995$
The difference between the two forms of payment: $5500 -1995=3505$
There were 57 people who paid at the door, and 3505 more dollars were collected in advance than at the door.
