how many of each type of ticket did you sell?

Question

you are selling tickets for a high school ply. student tickets cost $4 and general admission tickets cost $6 . you sell 525 tickets and collect $2876.

Answer 1

Let x = the number of student tickets. Then, (525 - x) = the number of general admission tickets.

 

We have the following equation:

 

4x + 6(525 - x) = 2876

 

4x + 3150 - 6x = 2876

 

-2x = -274

 

x = 137 student tickets

 

You should be able to determine the number of general admission tickets, Delaney
