Answer:

Let's use a system of equations to solve the problem.

Let x be the number of regular admission tickets sold, and y be the number of fast pass tickets sold.

From the problem, we know that:

x + y = 104 (equation 1)

and

8x + 22y = 1280 (equation 2)

We can use equation 1 to solve for x in terms of y:

x = 104 - y

Substituting this expression for x into equation 2, we get:

8(104 - y) + 22y = 1280

Simplifying and solving for y, we get:

832 - 8y + 22y = 1280

14y = 448

y = 32

So the student sold 32 fast pass tickets.

To find the number of regular admission tickets sold, we can substitute y = 32 into equation 1 and solve for x:

x + 32 = 104

x = 72

So the student sold 72 regular admission tickets.

Therefore, the student sold 72 regular admission tickets and 32 fast pass tickets.
