Question

Adult tickets for a concert cost $16.00, and student tickets cost $12.00. If twice as many student tickets as adult tickets were sold, and the total revenue from ticket sales was $26,800, find the number of adult and student tickets sold.

Answer 1

670 adult tickets and 1340 student tickets

Explanation:

Adult tickets for a concert cost $16.00, and student tickets cost $12.00.

Adult = $16.00

Student = $12.00

If twice as many student tickets as adult tickets were sold, and the total revenue from ticket sales was $26,800, the number of adult tickets would be 670 and the number of student tickets would be 1340.

Answer 2

• 670 adult tickets
• 1340 student tickets

Explanation:

One group of 2 student and 1 adult tickets will go for 2×$12 +16 = $40. The number of such groups sold was ...

$26,800/$40 = 670

There were 670 adult tickets sold.

There were 670×2 = 1340 student tickets sold.
