Answer 1

B) x+y=120; 12x+20y=1720

Explanation:

If variables are defined as ...

x = number of student tickets sold

y = number of adult tickets sold

then the problem statement can be modeled by ...

x + y = 120 . . . . . . the total number of tickets sold is 120

12x + 20y = 1720 . . . . . the total collected from ticket sales was $1720
