Answer provided by our tutors
let
a = the number of adult tickets sold
s = the number of student tickets sold
54 tickets were sold
a + s = 54
total of $70.50 was made
1.5*a + 1*s = 70.50
by solving the system of equations
a + s = 54
1.5*a + 1*s = 70.50
we find
a = 33 adult tickets
s = 21 student tickets
