Question

adult tickets to the fall play cost $6 and student tickets cost $3. the drama class sold 25 more student tickets than adult tickets to the fall play. if the class collected $660 from ticket sales, how many student tickets were sold?

Answer 1

Let x be the total number of student tickets sold.
Then, x - 25 is the number of adult tickets sold.

660 = 3x + 6(x - 25)
660 = 3x + 6x - 150
9x = 810
x = 90

Thus, 90 student tickets were sold.
