You can put this solution on YOUR website! A full price ticket for a college basketball game costs $6.00, and a student ticket costs $4.25. If 496 tickets were sold, and the total recepits were $2,498.25, how many tickets were student tickets?
--------------------------
Equations:
Quantity: f + s = 496
Value: 6f + 4.25s = 2498.25
------------------------------------------
Multiply thru Quantity by 6 to get:
6f + 6s = 6*496
---
Subtract that from Value and solve for "s":
-1.75s = -477.75
---
s = 273 (number of student tickets)
