Answer:

number of guest tickets, g, is 100 tickets

number of student tickets, s, is 125 tickets

Explanation:

Given;

total number of tickets sold, t = 225 tickets

cost of each guest ticket, = $5.5

cost of each student ticket, = $3.5

total cost of the tickets, Tc = $987.5

number of guest tickets = g

number of student tickets, = s

g(5.5) + s(3.5) = 987.5 ------- (1)

g + s = 225 ----------- (2)

From equation (2); s = 225 - g

Substitute the value of g in equation (1)

5.5g + 3.5(225 - g) = 987.5

5.5g + 787.5 - 3.5g = 987.5

5.5g - 3.5g = 987.5 - 787.5

2g = 200

g = 200 / 2

g = 100 tickets

Then, s = 225 - g

s = 225 - 100

s = 125 tickets
