Answer 1

The correct answer is 100 student tickets and 250 general admission tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets assume the number of student tickets sold is x and the number of general admission tickets sold is y.

From the given information, we can form the following equations:

We can solve these two equations simultaneously to find the values of x and y.

If we solve the equations, we get x = 100 and y = 250.

Therefore, the correct answer is (a) 100 student tickets and 250 general admission tickets.
