The school is selling tickets. If you wear school colors the tickets cost 6 dollars. If you don't they cost 9 dollars. A total of 240 tickets were sold and a total of 1,800 dollars were raised. Write two equations and graph it. Then solve the system equations using the substitution and elimination methods.
----
Equations:
Quantity:: c + n = 240 tickets sold
Value:::: 6c +9n = 1800 dollars
--------------------
Modify:
2c + 2n = 480
2c + 3n = 600
----------------
Subtract and solve for "n": n = 120 Number sold to no color persons
Solve for "c: c + 120 = 240
c = 120 Number sold to color persons
