Question

6. Becca is helping to sell tickets to the spring musical. They sold 135 tickets and collected $799. Each student ticket costs $5 and each adult ticket costs $7. Define the variables, and write a system of equations to find out how many student tickets and adult tickets were sold. Label everything for full credit!

Answer 1

$400 dollars in five dollar tickets then $399 dollars in seven dollar tickets.

so you do $400+$399=799

Explanation:

You do $400÷5=80 then you do $395R4÷7=55 Then you do 55+80=$135.

so 55 adult tickets and then 80 student tickets.
