The two types of tickets sold at a baseball game are standard tickets and discounted tickets. The price of a discounted ticket was 80% of the price of a standard ticket. There were 153 standard tickets sold at the baseball game. There were 47 discounted tickets sold at the baseball game. The total amount of tickets sales from the standard and discounted tickets was $2,649.34. The line graphed on the grid represents the first equation in a system of linear equations for this situation. If the second equation in the system is y = 0.80x, what is the best estimate of the price of a discounted ticket?

• $13.95

• $14.55

• $13.25

• $11.15
