Question

A school's theater program sold a total of 530

tickets for its fall play. They took in a total of $1740
in sales selling student tickets for $3 and adult
tickets for $4. How many of each type of ticket did
they sell?

Answer 1

First do 1740 divided by 2 and you get 870 which is half of your money amount. Then do 870 divided by 3 and you get 290. that's the answer for the student tickets. For the adult tickets do 870 divided by 4 because you split the money amount. This is probably totally wrong because I'm in middle school.
