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? 10(512 – c) + 5c = 512 10(512 – c) + 5c = 3,570 5(512 – c) + 10c = 3,570 5(512 – c) + 10c 512

5c+10a=3570 c+a=512

a=512-c So

5c + 10(512-c)=3570
