You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Two-variable linear system application.
Assign variables for how many of each ticket.
Account for the sales revenue; account for the number of tickets.
Solve. 

                  TICKETS    PRICE     REVENUE       
STUDENTS           x         3.00      

NONSTUDENTS        y         5.00


TOTALS           500                    1920

You write the system of EQUATIONS and solve it.
