Question

North High School just put on

their Spring musica. The theater
department sold tickets for $5 for
adults and $2 for students. If they
sold 574 fickets for $2,120, how
many of each ticket was sold?

Answer 1

5x + 2y = 2120

x + y = 574

2y = 2120 - 5x

2y = 1148 - 2x

1148 - 2x = 2120 - 5x

-972 = -3x

x = 324

574 - 324 = y

y = 250

324 adult tickets sold, 250 student tickets sold
