Question

For the school concert band performance, student tickets cost $8 each and adult tickets cost $12 each. The sellers collected $3,200 from 300 tickets sold. How many adult tickets and student tickets were sold?

Answer 1

200 adult, 100 student tickets

Explanation:

8s+12a=3,200; s+a=300; s = student tickets, a = adult tickets

8s=2400-8a; 2400-8a+12a=3,200; 4a=800; a=200

Answer 2

the answer is 128 tickets were sold

300÷12=25

3200÷25=128
