    The number of tickets purchased costing $21 each = 18

    The number of tickets purchased costing $ 27 each = 11

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The total number of tickets purchased = 29

    Here, let us assume that:

    The number of tickets purchased costing $21 = m

    The number of tickets purchased costing $ 27 = 29 - m

    So, now the cost of m tickets costing $21 each = m x ($21) = 21 m

    Also, the cost of purchasing (29-m) tickets costing $27 each

    = (29-m) x $27 = 783 - 27 m

    Also, the total cost of purchasing 29 tickets = $ 675

    ⇒ The total cost of m tickets + (29 - m) tickets = $ 675

    or, 21 m + 783 - 27 m = 675

    ⇒ - 6 m = 675 - 783 = - 108

    or, m 108/6 = 18

    ⇒ m = 18

    Hence the number of tickets purchased costing $21 each = m = 18

    The number of tickets purchased costing $ 27 each = 29 - m

    = 29 - 18 = 11
