Question

A school made $880 from ticket sales for the school play. From the ticket sales, $250 were from adult tickets.

Student tickets are $5 each. How many students attended the play?

Answer 1

126

by-step explanation:

880 is that amount made in total.

250 were adults.

we can subtract that to simplify; 880-250= 630

Knowing that information we can assume the rest of the tickets are students.

5$ each.

5/620

How many 5s go into 630? 126.

Check your answer by multiplying 126 by 5, which = 630.

630+250=880.

Answer 2

126 Students

Explanation:

First, you subtract the money from the adult tickets from the total ($880), that leaves $630.

Since each student ticket is $5, you divide $630 by 5, which equals 126.

So, 126 students attended.
