Answer: Let's Set it up:
X+Y = 600 Tickets, therefore X= 600-Y

$1.50 (X) + $2.50 (Y) = $1020

Replace X with (600-Y) from first equation

($1.50) (600-Y) + $2.50Y = $1020

$900 - $1.50Y + $2.50Y = $1020

$900 + Y = $1020
Y= $1020 - $900
Y = 120

If Y = 120, and if X+Y = 600 --- Then X = 480

So 480 tickets sold at $1.50
and 120 tickets sold at $2.50
