Question

at a local play student tickets cost $5 each and adult tickets cost $11 each if tickets sales were 3000 for 300 tickets how many students attended the play​

Answer 1

Answer: 50 students attended the play.

Explanation:

Let x be the number of student tickets sold and y be the number of adult tickets sold. We know that:

x + y = 300 (total number of tickets sold)

5x + 11y = 3000 (total revenue from ticket sales)

We can use the first equation to solve for one of the variables in terms of the other. For example, we can substitute y = 300 - x into the second equation:

5x + 11(300 - x) = 3000

5x + 3300 - 11x = 3000

-6x = -300

x = 50
