Question 12713: Tickets for a concert were sold to adults for $3 and to students for $2. If the total receipts were $824 and twice as many adult tickets as student tickets were sold, then how many of each were sold? Answer by stanbon!(97) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let number of student tickets be "x".
Then number of adult tickets is 2x.
Value of student tickets is (2)x dollars
Value of adult tickets is (3)3x = 6x dollars
EQUATION:
Value of student + Value of adult is 824 dollars
2x + 6x = 824
8x = 824
x = 103 (number of student tickets)
2x = 206 (number of adult tickets)
