Question 1035515
the school recently performed 'shrek'. They sold two types of tockets, student and non-student to tickets. Student tickets cost 5$ each and non student tickets cost 9$ each. If they sold 250 more student tickets than non student tickets and earned a total of 7,018$, how many of each type did they sell?
------
Quantity Eq:: s = n + 250
Value Eq:: 5s + 9n = 7018
---------
Modify for elimination::
5s - 5n = 5*250
5s + 9n = 7018
-------------------
Substract and solve for "n"::
14n = 5768
n = 412 non-student tickets sold
-----------
s = n + 250 = 662 student tickets sold
