Question

there was a total of $578 collected for tickets to the school play. The adult tickets cost $6, and the student tickets cost $4. If 12 more student tickets were sold than adult tickets, find the numbers of adult and student tickets sold

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let, s= number of student tickets sold

a= number of adult tickets sold

s=a+12

and, 6a+4s=578

6a+4(a+12)=578

10a+48=578

10a=530

a=53

s=53+12=65
