Question

Jason is buying tickets to the football game for his frinds and family each student ticket cost 5$ and each non student cost 15$ a total of 110$ was spend on 15 people what’s the cost of each student and non student

Answer 1

Student tickets cost $5

Non-student tickets cost $15

Total cost = $115

Total people = 15

Number of student tickets = S

Number of non-student tickets = N

It is helpful to write out the information you know (see above). That way you can visualize what you already know and what you still need to find out.

Use equations like this:

$5 (S) + $15 (N) = $115

S + N = 15

Solve this system of equations by elimination or substitution.
