Question

Adult tickets to a football game costs $6 and student tickets cost $2. A total of $1776 was collected on tickets 372. How many adult tickets were sold?

Answer 1

s = the number of student tickets sold a = the number of adult tickets sold The drama class sold 25 more student tickets than adult tickets to the fall play s = a + 25 The class collected $660 from ticket sales: 6s + 3a = 660 divide both sides by 3 2s + a = 220 by solving the system of equations s = a + 25 2s + a = 220 we find s = 81.67 student tickets a = 56.67 adult tickets
