Question

For a school drama performance, student tickets cost $5 each and adult tickets cost $10 each. The sellers collected $3,570 from 512 tickets sold. If c is the number of student tickets sold, which equation can be used to find the amount of tickets sold of each type?

Answer 1

The number of adult tickets sold is a=202\ tickets

The number of student tickets sold is c=310\ tickets

Explanation:

c------> the number of student tickets sold

a-----> the number of adult tickets sold

we know that

a+c=512 -----> equation A

5c+10a=3,70-----> equation B

therefore

the solution is

the number of adult tickets sold is a= 202 tickets

the number of student tickets sold is c= 310 tickets
