Question 399878: At a basketball game, adult's tickets were sold at 1$ each and the students tickets were sold at 75 cent each. If 150 tickets were sold and 140$ was collected. How many tickets of eacj kind were sold? Answer by robertb(5830) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! a + s = 150
a + 0.75s = 140
Subtracting the top equation from the bottom equation, we get 0.25s = 10, or s = 40, the number of student tickets sold. Then a = 150 - 40 = 110, the number of adult tickets sold.
