Question

a total of 125 people attended the school play. Adult tickets are $4 each and student tickets are $1.50 each. if $295 worth of tickets were sold, how many student and adult attended? Explain

Answer 1

Answer:

617 student tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of student tickets = x
Number of adult tickets = 920−x

Then
2⋅x+4⋅(920−x)=2446

2x+3680−4x=2446

−2x=2446−3680

−2x=−1234

x=617 tickets for students

920−617=303 tickets for adults
