Tickets for a play cost $5.50 for adults and $3.50 for students. if a total of 120 tickets were sold and the total amount of money collected was %600, find the number of student tickets sold.
Answer provided by our tutors
Let
x = the number of adult tickets sold
y = the number of student tickets sold
There were 120 tickets sold altogether:
x + y = 120
There were $600 collected for the tickets:
5.50x + 3.50y = 600
We have the following system of equations:
x + y = 120
5.50x + 3.50y = 600
