Answer:

15 booklets of 10 tickets each were sold.  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information:

Let x be the number of single tickets sold and y be the number of booklets sold.

Each booklet consist of 10 tickets.

There are total of 500 tickets.

Thus, it can be represented by the equation:

[tex]x + 10y =500[/tex]

The cost of single ticket = $3

Cost of booklet = $20

Total money raised = $1,350

This, can be represented in the equation:

[tex]3x + 20y = 1350[/tex]

Now, we have obtained two equation in two variable. Solving these equations, we get:

[tex]2x + 20y = 1000\\3x + 20y = 1350\\x = 350\\y = 15[/tex]

Thus, 15 booklets of 10 tickets each were sold.
