Answer:

80 student tickets and 30 adult tickets must be sold to reach a $700 raise.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the drama club is selling tickets to their play to raise money for the show's expenses, and each student ticket sells for $ 5 and each adult ticket sells for $ 10, and the auditorium can hold a maximum of 110 people and the drama club must make a minimum of $ 700 from ticket sales to cover the show's costs, to determine one possible solution the following calculation must be performed:

110 x 5 + 0 x 10 = 550

(700 - 550) / (10 - 5) = 150/5 = 30

80 x 5 + 30 x 10 = 400 + 300 = 700

Therefore, 80 student tickets and 30 adult tickets must be sold to reach a $700 raise.
