Write a system of eguations that could be used to solve this problem:The math club sold 200 raffle tickets for a total of $110 at $0.50 for students and $0.75 for adults.
Let student tickets be:x
Let adult tickets be:y
An equation that represents the total amount of tickets sold is:
x+y=200
An equation that represents the amount of money earned is:
.50x+.75y=110
You now have a system of equations with two equations an two unknowns:
x+y=200
.50x+.75y=110
Happy Calculating!!!
