Answer:
Explanation:
number of students ticket sold = x
number of parent tickets sold = y
If a total of 96 tickets were sold
x+ y =96 ---- eq 1
If a total of 96 tickets were sold for $306.25
2.50x + 3.75y=306.25 ---- eq 2
x+ y =96
y=96-x
substitute value of y in equation 2
2.50x + 3.75 (96-x)=306.25
2.50x + 360 -3.75x =306.25
- 1.25 x = -53.75
x = 43
therefore the answer would be y=96-x=96-43=53
