Tickets for a concert were priced at $8 for students and $10 for nonstudents. There were 1220 tickets sold for a total of $11,400. How many student tickets were sold?
---------------------
Quantity Eq:: s + n = 1220 tickets
Value Eq::; 8s+10n = 11400
-----
Modify for elimination:
8s + 8n = 8*1220
8s + 10n= 11400
-----
Subtract and solve for "n":
2n = 1640
n = 820 (# of nonstudent tickets sold)
