Let x be the ticket for students and y for adults.

The total number of tickets sold is 105. So:

x + y =105

The total amount of money collected is 360. Students pay $2 and adults pay $4. So:

2x + 4y = 360

We are left with the system:

x+y = 105

2x+4y = 360

We'll use the Addition method and multiply the first equation by -2:

-2x-2y = -210

2x+4y = 360

Adding the equations:

-2x+2x-2y+4y = 360-210

2y = 150

y = 75

x+y = 105

x+75 = 105

x= 30

S= {30,75}
