Answer by math_tutor2020(3817) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x = number of students
232 - x = number of non-students
1.50x = revenue from the students only
2.50(232-x) = revenue from the non-students only
1.50x + 2.50(232-x) = total revenue
1.50x + 2.50(232-x) = 445
Let's solve for x
1.50x + 2.50(232-x) = 445
1.50x + 2.50(232)+2.50(-x) = 445
1.50x + 580 -2.50x = 445
-x + 580 = 445
-x = 445-580
-x = -135
x = 135
Then,
232-x = 232-135 = 97
Answers:
135 student tickets.
97 non-student tickets.
