Problema Solution

Adult tickets for the game cost $4 each and student tickets cost $2 each. A total of 920 tckets worth $2446 were sold. How many student tickets were sold?

Answer provided by our tutors

Let x be the number of adult tickets sold.

Then the number of student tickets sold is 920 - x.

A total of 920 tckets worth $2446 were sold:

4x + 2(920-x) = 2446

4x + 1840 - 2x = 2446

2x = 606

x = 303

 adult tickets sold = 303

 student tickets sold = 617
