the last day of the festival, they sold 2000 tickets. the daily tickets cost 800$ and the night ticktes cost 550$. the sum they got was 153900. how many ticktes did they sell of each ticket?

The numbers don't stack up here.  Even if they only sold night tickets, 2000 of them would come to much more than153900!!

Perhaps they sold only  200 tickets?

 

d = day tix

200-d = night tix

d (800) + (200-d)550 = 153900

800d + 110000 - d550 =153900

d250 = 43900

d= 175.6     you can't sell a PARTIAL ticket so....

                     Alan is correct......even with this assumption of 200 tix, the numbers still don't work
