    Let

    L=number of lower tickets sold

    U=number of upper tickets sold

    then

    U=718-L ... (1)

    and

    9.50L + 8U=6249.50 ... (2)

    Substitute (1) in (2)

    9.50L+8 (718-L) = 6249.50

    isolate L and solve

    1.5L=6249.50-8*718=505.5

    L=505.5/1.5=337

    U=718-L=381
