Question

Tickets to the event cost six dollars for students and 10 for adults the theater which is 100 and it says up for the night and the department raises $904 how many students attend the performance

Answer 1

24

Explanation:

Given that the cost for one ticket for a student =$6

The cost for one ticket for an adult =$10

The theater sold 100 tickets and raises $904.

Let x students attend the performance.

So, the number of adults who attend the performance= 100-x

Total cost for the tickets = 6x+10(100-x)

`\Rightarrow 904 =6x+1000-10x \\\\ \Rightarrow 904 = 1000-4x \\\\\Rightarrow 4x=1000-904 \\\\\Rightarrow 4x= 96 \\\\\Rightarrow x=96/4=24`

Hence, 24 students attend the performance.
