Let x represent the number of adult tickets sold.

Let y represent the number of student tickets sold.

We were told that the movie theater sold a total of 205 tickets to a movie. This means that

x + y = 205

Adult tickets were $9 and student tickets were $5. This means that the cost of x adult tickets and y student tickets is 9x + 5y. If the total cost of the tickets was $1621, it means that

9x + 5y = 1621

From the first equation, x = 205 - y

We would substitute x = 205 - y into 9x + 5y = 1621. Thus, we have

9(205 - y) + 5y = 1621

1845 - 9y + 5y = 1621

- 9y + 5y = 1621 - 1845

- 4y = - 224

y = - 224/- 4

y = 56

x = 205 - y = 205 - 56

x = 149

Thus, 56 student tickets were sold

kupik [55]
The fractions which cannbe formed are: 2/3, 3/2, 2/5, 5/2, 3/5 and 5/3.
Now, we find the products with the third number:
2/3*5= 10/3 = 3.33 > 2
3/2*5 = 15 >2= 7.5 > 2
2/5*3= 6/5 (rejected)
5/2*3 = 15/2 > 2
3/5*2= 6/5 (rejected)
5/3*2 = 15/2 = 7.5> 2
