Question 5032: there were 200 tickets sold for a college basketball game. tickets were $4.50 for students and $9 for adults. the total amount collected was $1485. how many of each type of ticket were sold. Answer by NinangS(5) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! a= # of adult tickets sold
s=# of student tickets sold
9.00a + 2.50s = 1485
a + s = 200
a = 200 - s
9.00(200-s)+ 4.50s = 1485
1800 - 9.00s + 4.50s = 1485
-4.50s = -315
s = 70
a + 70 = 200
a = 130
