Question 350449: There are 400 people at the game. $2 per student and $3 for adults. A total of $1050 were sold. 400 people attnded the game. How many tix of each were sold?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! let students be x
adults be y
total = 400
..
student $2
adult $3
total $1050
..
x+y=400....................1
2x+3y=1050.................2
multiply equation1 by -2 and add it to eq.2
-2x-2y=-800
add
3y-2y=1050-800
y=250 adults
students will be 150
