Question

a total of 210 people attended the opening night of a school musical. student tickets cost $3 each while general admission tickets cost $7.50 each. if total sales were $1296 how many of type of ticket were sold ?

Answer 1

Explanation:

total number of attendees=210

no.of students attendees=x

no.of general attendees=210-x

total sales =$1296

Student ticket=$3

General ticket = $7.50

3x+(210-x)7.50 =1296

3x -7.5X+1575=1296

-4.5x=-279

x=62

so no of student attendees =62

no.of general attendees=210-62 = 148
