Question

there were 58,389 tickets sold to the panthers football game. adult tickets sold for $30 each and student tickets sold for $24 each. The total dollar amount collected from ticket sales were $1,622,376. How many more adult tickets were sold than student tickets?

Answer 1

i think that there is some mistake in task, because there is no good numbers
.
see solution below:

lets think that there are x adult tickets
and y student tickets, so total cost of adult tickets is 30x$
and total cost of student's tickets is 24y$
Total cost of all tickets is 30x+24y=1622376
total quantity of all tickets x+y=58389
solve a system of equation:
x=58389-y
put this value in first equation:
30(58389-y)+24y=1622376
1756070-30y+24y=1622376
6y=133694
y=22282 1/3
