A theater charges $12 for seats in the orchestra and $8 for seats in the balcony. On a certain night, a total of 380 tickets were sold for a total cost of $3,320. How many more tickets were sold that night for seats in the balcony than for seats in the orchestra? Choose the correct choice from the following:
A) 90  B) 110  C) 120  D) 130  E) 240

Rationale: "orchestra seats - a balcony seats - b a + b = 380 and 12 a + 8 b = 3320 solving equations simultaneously ( multiply equation 1 with 8 and subtract from second equation ) 4 a = 3320 - 8 * 380 = 3320 - 3040 = 280 i . e . a = 70 and b = 380 - 70 = 310 more seats in balcony than orchestra = b - a = 310 - 70 = 240 answer : option e"
Answer: E
