The student council is sponsoring an event to raise money.
Tickets cost $3 for adults and $1 for students.
They want to raise $275
And it says to write an equation for the number of each type of ticket they should sell
:
let x = no. of adult tickets to raise this amt
let y = no. of student tickets required
:
3x + 1y = 275
y = -3x + 275, is the equation
:
Decide how many adults, (x), find the no. of students (y)
For example if you have 70 adults, you need to have 65 children
