Question

The drama club earned $1040 from a production. A total of 64 adult tickets and 132 student tickets were sold. An adult ticket costs twice as much as a student ticket. What is the price of each type of ticket sold? Use x for adult tickets and y for student tickets.

Answer 1

Answer: $8

Explanation:

one adult ticket costs twice as much as one student ticket so

cost of 1 student ticket=x

cost of one adult ticket=2x

total money made=1040

adults+students=1040 so

64(2x)+132(x)=1040

128x+132x=1040

260x=1040

divide both sides by 260

x=4

1 student ticket=$4

1 adult ticket=2x=2(4)=$8
