Question

The sophomore class sold a total of 700 adult and student tickets to the school play. adult tickets sold for $4.50 each, and student tickets cost $2.00 each. if they took in a total of $1,200, which system of equations can be used to find x, the number of student tickets sold, and y, the number of adult tickets sold

Answer 1

1,200 = 2x + 4.5y is an equation you could use

Answer 2

Explanation:

Given that the sophomore class sold a total of 700 adult and student tickets to the school play. adult tickets sold for $4.50 each, and student tickets cost $2.00 each.

Total = 1200

x, the number of student tickets sold, and y, the number of adult tickets sold

Then we have

`x+y =700\\4.5x+2y = 1200`

These are the system to solve for x
