Question

Adult tickets to the fall play cost 6 and student tickets cost 3 . The drama class sold 25 more student tickets than adult tickets to the fall play. If the class collected 660 from ticket sales, how many student tickets were sold?

Answer 1

90 student tickets were sold

Answer 2

Let x be the total number of student tickets sold.

Then, x - 25 is the number of adult tickets sold.

660 = 3x + 6(x - 25)

660 = 3x + 6x - 150

9x = 810

x = 90

Thus, 90 student tickets were sold.
