Given :
Tickets cost $3 for students and $5 for adults.
A total of 125 people attended the concert for a total ticket sales of $475.
To Find :
The number of students and adults that attended the concert.
Solution :
Let, number of students and adults that attended the concert is x and y.
Mathematical equation of given conditions :
x + y = 125 ....1)
3x + 5y = 425 ....2)
Putting value of x from 1 to equation 2 is :
3( 125 - y ) + 5y = 425
375 - 3y + 5y = 425
2y = 50
y = 25
x = 125 - 25
x = 100
Therefore, number of students and adults that attended the concert is 100 ans 25 respectively.
Hence, this is the required solution.
