    Answer:

    21 people

    Step-by-step explanation:

           $9.75      $14.50

      5 people to 3 people

     35 people to ? people

    consider the proportions: 5/3 = 35/?

    we need the equivalent fraction of 5/3 that has 35 on the denominator

    so 5/3 = (5/3)(7/7)  because 7/7 =1, and 5*3 =35

    5/3 = 5*7/3*7 = 35/21

    Answer:

      21

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The number who bought expensive tickets is 3/5 of the number who bought cheap tickets.

      (3/5)(35) = 21

    21 people bought the more expensive ticket.
