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?

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

Answer 1

I think the right equation is 10(512 - c) plus 5c equals 3,570

Answer 2

Answer:
`10(512 – c) + 5c = 3,570`

Explanation:

Given : The number of student tickets sold is represented by c.

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.

Since , the total tickets sold = 512

Therefore , the number of adults ticket =
`512-c`

Now, cost of total child tickets :
`5c`

Cost of total adult tickets =
`10(512 – c)`

Now, according to the cost of the tickets , we have the following equation :-

`10(512 – c) + 5c = 3,570`
