Question

Suppose your school is having a talent show to raise money for new band supplies. You think that 200 students and 150 adults will attend. It will cost $200 to put on the talent show. What is an equation that describes the ticket prices you can set for students and adults to raise $1000?

Answer 1

200x + 150y= 1200

Explanation:

Let x represent the number of students

Let y represent the number of adults

200students and 150 adults will tend

It will cost $200 to organise the talent show

The ticket prices to set for students and adults can be represented by the equation below

200x + 150y= 1000+200

200x + 150y= 1200
