Students performed in a play on a Friday and a Saturday. For both performances, adult tickets cost a dollars each and student

tickets cost s dollars each.
On Friday, they sold 125 adult tickets and 65 student tickets, and collected $1,200. On Saturday, they sold 140 adult tickets and 50
student tickets, and collect $1,230.
This situation is represented by this system of equations:
125a +65 s = 1,200
140a +505 = 1,230
What could the equation 265a+115s=2,430 mean in this situation?

Answer:

Explanation:

125a + 65s = 1200

140a + 50s = 1230

-3500a - 1820s = -33600

3500a + 1250s = 30750

-570s = -2850

s = $5

student

125a + 65(5) = 1200

125a + 325 = 1200

125a = 875

a = $7 adult

the other situation means that they didn't do it right at all
