Question

Members of the theater club sold tickets for the spring

musical. On Friday night, they made $125 in presales a
sold 120 tickets at the door. For the Saturday night sho
they earned $180 in presales and sold 110 tickets at the
door, If the theater club earned the same amount each
night, what is t, the cost per ticket?

Answer 1

C. 125 + 120x = 180 + 110x

t = $5.5

Explanation:

A.125t + 120 = 180t + 110

B. 120t + 110t = 125 + 180

C. 125 + 120t = 180 + 110t

D. 125 - 120t = 180 - 110t

Friday

$125 + 120t

Saturday

110t + 180

equate Friday and Saturday

125 + 120t = 110t + 180

Collect like terms

125 - 180 = 110t - 120t

-55 = -10t

Divide both sides by -10

t = -55 / -10

= 5.5

t = $5.5
