week. Their auditorium holds 500 people. By selling tickets, the members would like to raise $2,350

represent the number of student tickets sold at $3.50 each. If all 500 seats are filled for a

$2,350? At one performance there were three times as many student tickets sold as adult tickets. If

there were 400 tickets sold at that performance, how much below the goal of $2,350 did ticket sales
