Question

The Drama Club sold 450 tickets for the spring play. An adult ticket cost $5 and a student ticket cost $3. Total ticket sales equaled $1900. Find out how many adult and student tickets the club sold.

Answer 1

`x+y=450`

`5x+3y=1900`



`x=450-y`

`5(450-y)+3y=1900`


`-2y+2250=1900`

`-2y=-350`

`y=175`

`x=275`
