Question

Jillian's school is selling tickets for a play. The tickets cost $10.50 for adults and $3.75 for students. The ticket sales

for opening night totaled $2071.50. The equation 10.50 +3.750 = 2071.50, where a is the number of adult tickets sold and
b is the number of student tickets sold, can be used to find the number of adult and student tickets. If 82 students
attended, how may adult tickets were sold?

168!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

168

Step-by-step explanation:

10.5a+3.75b=2071.5

b=82

10.5a+3.75*82=2071.5

10.5a= 2071.5- 307.5

10.5a= 1764

a= 1764/10.5

a= 168 adult tickets
