Question 255123
The total receipts for a basketball game are $1400 for 788 tickets sold.
 Adults paid $2.50 for admission and students paid $1.25.
 How many of each kind of tickets were sold?
If x is how many of each kind of tickets were sold.
:
You have to decide which type of ticket is represent by x:
Let x = no. of adult tickets
The total number of tickets sold is given as 788, therefore
(788-x) = no. of student tickets
:
The revenue equation
2.50x + 1.25(788-x) = 1400
:
Solve this equation and you have the number of adult tickets, then (788-x) = no. of student tickets
