There were 28,000 people at the ballgame. Let x be the number of people who paid $11 for reserved seats. Then, the number of people who paid $6 for general admission is 28,000 - x. The total receipts were $203,000. So, the equation is 11x + 6(28,000 - x) = 203,000. Solving for x gives x = 7000. Therefore, 7000 people paid $11 for reserved seats and 21,000 people paid $6 for general admission.
