Problema Solution
Of the 600 tickets sold to a movie, 540 were full-price tickets costing $6 each. If the gate receipts were $3,360, what did a student ticket cost?
Answer provided by our tutors
Let 'x' represent the student ticket cost. If 540 out of 600 tickets were sold at full price, then 60 tickets were sold at the student ticket cost:
3360=540*6+60x
x=2
A student ticket cost $2.
