Students can buy tickets to a basketball game for $2. The admission for nonstudents is $3. If 400 tickets are sold and the total receipts are $910, how many student tickets are sold?
-----------------
Quantity:: s + n = 400 tickets
Value:: 2s + 3n = 910 dollars
--------------------------------
Modify for elimination::
2s + 2n = 800
2s + 3n = 910
-----
Subtract and solve for "n":
n = 110 (# of non-student tickets sold)
-----------------
Solve for "s"::
s = 400 - 110 = 290 (# of student tickets sold)
