You can put this solution on YOUR website! Annual concert. A total of 150 tickets were sold for the annual concert to students and non-students. Student tickets were $5 and non-student tickets were $8. If the total revenue for the concert was $930, then how many tickets of each type were sold?
.
Let x = student tickets sold
then
150-x = non-student tickets sold
.
Since we know the total revenue, we get
930 = 5x + 8(150-x)
930 = 5x + 1200 - 8x
930 = 1200 - 3x
930 + 3x = 1200
3x = 270
x = 90 (student tickets sold)
.
non-student tickets:
150-x = 150-90 = 60 (non-student tickets sold)
