find the number of adult and student tickets sold.

Question

Adult tickets for a concert cost $18.00, and student tickets cost $14.00. If twice as many student tickets as adult tickets were sold, and the total revenue from tickets sales was 23,920, find the number of adult and student tickets sold.

Answer 1

Let x = the number of adult tickets sold

Let 2x = the number or student tickets sold

18x + 14(2x) = 23920

18x + 28x = 23920

46x = 23920

x = 520

2x = 1040
