Answer: a combination of 75 adult tickets and 250 student tickets would make $2000
Explanation:
A theater wants 2000$ and children’s tickets cost 5$ and adult tickets cost 10$. To find a combination of children and adult tickets that will make 2000$, we would assume a value for either the number of student tickets or adult tickets and assume a variable for the other.
Assuming 250 student tickets and x adult tickets were sold. Therefore,
250 × 5 + 10x = 2000
1250 + 10x = 2000
10x = 2000 - 1250 = 750
x = 750/10 = 75
