A + S = 50 ===> S = 50 - A

5A + 3S = 180

5A + 3(50 - A) = 180

5A + 150 - 3A = 180

2A = 30

[ A = 15 ]

[ S = 35 ]

=====================

Check:

5(15) + 3(35) = 75 + 105 = 180 yay!

s- student, price of ticket is $2 a- adult, price for ticket i s$ 3 2*s money collected from students 3*s money collected from adults if a+s=400 and 3*a+2*s=1050 we have system of linear equations so a=400-s substitute in second equation a with 400-s then 3*(400-s) +2*s=1050 1200-3*s +2s=1050 1200 - s = 1050 -1200 -1200 -s = - 150 s=150 if s=150 then a=400-s so a=400-150, thus a=250 At the game sold 250 adult tickets and 150 student tickets

S = student A = adult 2S +3A = 1050 also S + A = 400 2S + 2A = 800 2S + 3A + 1050 subtract equations -A = - 250 A = 250 S = 150


Michelle sold tickets for the basketball gameEach adult costs 3.00 and each student ticket cost 1.50 There were 105 tickets sold for a total of 250.00How many of each type of ticket were sold?

Sounds like a system of equations. X = adult ticket Y = student ticket Change all to pennies for convenience. X + Y = 105 300X + 150Y = 25000 -150(X + Y = 105) - 150X - 150Y = - 15750 300X + 150Y = 25000 -----------------------------------add them 150X = 9250 X = 62 adult tickets ------------------------ Y = 43 student tickets -------------------------- Those two prices added together = $250.50 So, we are a little off. I rounded the adult ticket number, but pieces of tickets can not be sold, so check work.

Sold 325 tickets to a game Adult tickets were 5 each and student tickets were 2 each How many of each type of ticket were sold is 995 was made?

Let A be the number of adult tickets sold. As 325 tickets in total were sold, the number sold to students was 325 - A. The income from the sale of adult tickets = A x 5 = 5A The income from the sale of student tickets = (325 - A) x 2 = 650 - 2A Total Income = 995 = 5A + 650 - 2A = 3A + 650 3A = 995 - 650 = 345 A = 115, therefore S = 325 - 115 = 210. 115 Adult tickets were sold and 210 Student tickets.
