Question

Adult tickets for the school musical are sold for $3.50 and student tickets are sold for $2.50 on a given night 425 tickets were sold for $ 1237.50. Wrote a system of linear equations for the problem

Answer 1

3.5x + 2.50y = 1237.50

425 = x + y

Explanation:

number of adult tickets: x

number of student tickets: y

3.5x + 2.50y = 1237.50

( value of adult ticket [3.50]* number of adult tickets [x]) + (value of student ticket [2.50] * number of student tickets [y]) = total value (1237.50)

425 = x + y

(number of adult tickets [x]) + (number of student tickets [y]) = total (425)
