Problema Solution
The total receipts for a high school football game were 5,160 for a total of 2,220 admissions. If a student ticket sold for two dollars and adults tickets for three dollars how many of each were sold?
Answer provided by our tutors
let
s = the number of student tickets sold
a = the number of adult tickets sold
there were total of 2,220 admissions
s + a = 2220
the total receipts were $5,160
2s + 3a = 5160
by solving the system of equations
s + a = 2220
2s + 3a = 5160
we find
a = 720 adult tickets
s = 1500 student tickets
