Question

Students and adults purchased tickets for a recent Math Fun Night fundraiser. 350 tickets were sold and $2,950 was collected. Each student ticket sold for $5 and adult tickets were sold for $10 each. How many adult and student tickets were sold? Let x=_______ Let y=______. I have no idea how to solve this, maybe you can help? If so, start off with the let statements and can you send the steps along with it too?

Answer 1

fun one

110 student tickets

240 adult tickets

Explanation:

what i did is use two equations

x+y<= 350

and 5×+10y<3950

graph both on desmos or smash them together to find x and y and you get 110 student tickets and 240 adult tickets
