You can put this solution on YOUR website! The talent show committee sold a total of 530 tickets in advance. Student tickets cost $3 each and the adult tickets cost $4 each. If the total receipts were $1740, how many of each type of ticket were sold?
let x=number of student tickets sold
530-x=number of adult tickets sold
3x+4(530-x)=1740

number of student tickets sold=380
number of adult tickets sold=150
