There were 37 student tickets and 52 adult tickets
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of student tickets and y be the adult tickets
Then
According to given statement that total 89 tickets were sold
x+y=89 Eqn 1
And
$5 for an adult ticket and $3 for student ticket ,and total cost $371
3x+5y=371 Eqn 2
From eqn 1

Putting in eqn 2

Subtracting 267 from both sides

Dividing both sides by 2

Putting y=52 in eqn 1

Hence,
There were 37 student tickets and 52 adult tickets
