This equation models the different amounts of student and non-student tickets the math club can buy while spending a total of $315.
Let s represent the number of student tickets and
n represent the number of non-student tickets.
The cost of a student ticket is $15, so the cost of all student tickets is
15s.
The cost of a non-student ticket is $25, so the cost of all non-student tickets is 25n.
The total cost of tickets is given as $315, so we can write the equation:
15s+25n=315
This equation models the different amounts of student and non-student tickets the math club can buy while spending a total of $315.
