adult tickets for the senior class play were $4 each and student tickets were 2 each a total of 1250 tickets were sold and $3400 was earned how many student tickets were sold?
**
let x=no. of $4(adult) tickets sold
1250-x=no. of $2(student) tickets sold
..
4x+2(1250-x)=3400
4x+2500-2x=3400
2x=900
x=450
1250-x=800
ans:
no. of $2(student) tickets sold=800
