$11,200. Write an equation where x is for adults, and y is for children, which models the
situation in stanard form.

Answer 1

Given that the costs of general admission and student tickets to a high school football game are $28 for 4 adult tickets and $24 for 6 child tickets, respectively. The ticket sales for one game totaled $11,200.

$28 for 4 adult tickets.

Divide 28 by 4 to find the cost for an adult ticket.

`(28)/(4)=7`

The cost of a ticket for an adult is $7.

Divide 24 by 6 to find the cost for a child ticket

`(24)/(6)=4`

The cost of a ticket for a child is $4.

Let x be the number of adults ticket and y be the number of child tickets.

`7x+4y=11200`
