Question

Tickets for the school football game cost $10 for students and $12 for non-students. A total of 150 ticketswere sold and $1440 was collected.Let x = the # of student tickets soldLet y = the # of non-student tickets sold

Answer 1

x = students = $10

y = non students = $12

total tickets = 150

Equations

x + y = 150

10x + 12y = 1440

x = 150 - y

10(150 - y) + 12y = 1440

1500 - 10y + 12y = 1440

2y = 1440 - 1500

2y = -60

y = -60/2

y = 30

x = 150 -
