Using a system of equations, it is found that they expect to sell 175 adult tickets and 350 student tickets.

<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

In this problem, the variables are:

  • Variable a: Number of adults that attend.
  • Variable s: Number of students that attend.

They expect that twice as many students as adults will attend, hence:

s = 2a.

Their goal is to earn $1,500 from ticket sales, hence:

10a + 5s = 1500.

10a + 5(2a) = 1500.

20a = 1500.

a = 1500/20.

a = 175.

s = 2a = 2 x 175 = 350.

They expect to sell 175 adult tickets and 350 student tickets.
