Answer: A

GIVEN: A TOTAL of y tickets are sold

GIVEN: x tickets regularly sell for $9.00 each. The SALE price = $9/2 + $0.50 = $5
So, these x tickets will cost a total of 5x dollars

GIVEN: The remaining tickets regularly sell for $12.00 each. The SALE price = $12/2 + $1.00 = $7
If there are y tickets in TOTAL, and x tickets have a sale price of $5 per ticket, the remaining y-x tickets have a sale price of $7 per ticket
So, these y-x tickets will cost a total of 7(y-x) dollars

So the TOTAL amount paid for all white tickets = 5x + 7(y-x)
= 5x + (7y - 7x)
= 7y - 2x

Answer: A
