Question

5. The talent show committee sold a total of 530 tickets in advance. Student tickets cost $3 each and

the adult tickets cost $4 each. If the total receipts were $1740, how many of each type of ticket were
sold?

Answer 1

x + y = 530

3x + 4y = 1740

-3x - 3y = -1590

3x + 4y = 1740

y = 150 adult tickets

x + 150 = 530

x = 380 student tickets
