Question 1165701
.
<pre>

You introduce x = the number of adult tickets.

Then the number of the student tickets is 81-x.


Then you write the total money equation


    5x + 3*(81-x) = 371 dollar.


From the equation, you get  x = {{{(371-3*81)/(5-3)}}} = 64.


<U>ANSWER</U>.  64 adult tickets and the rest, 81 - 64 = 17 are the student tickets.


<U>CHECK</U>.  64*5 + 17*3 = 371 total dollars.   ! Correct !

Solved.
