Question 1107515: Hello, sorry for the trouble I’m 11 and I don’t know how to do the problem.
Tickets for admission to a high school football game cost 3$ for students and 5$ for adults. During one game, $2995 was collected from the sale of 279 tickets. How many adult tickets and student tickets were sold? Found 2 solutions by Boreal, ikleyn:Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! This can't work to make $2995 in sales for 279 adult tickets (the maximum), because that would net $1395 only. Accordingly, I edited the question to make the total sales $995.
Adult tickets=A
Student tickets=S
A+S=279
5A+3S=995
-5A-5S=-1395, multiplying the top by -5
-2S=-400
S=200 students or $600 total
A=79 adults or $395 total
