Question

Please help. Adult tickets for the play cost $15, and student tickets for the play cost $5. If 58 tickets were sold for $710, how many adult tickets were sold?

Answer 1

Take the total money, $710.00 divide $15.00 into $710.00. You get 47.3333. So, that means that 47 adult tickets were sold. 58 total tickets minus 47 adult tickets equals 11 student tickets.
