Of the 900 tickets sold to a movie, 450 were full-price tickets costing $8 each. If the gate receipts were $4,500, what did a student ticket cost?

Question

algebra word math problem help. I dont understand it. please help me

Answer 1

No of students = 900-450=450

 

Cost of full price tickets =450*8=3600 $

 

so, total cost of students tickets = 4500-3600=900 $

 

Cost of one student ticket = 900/450=  2 $ each
