Answer 2

Answer:

The equation will be:  $3s+5t=779$

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of student tickets that were sold $=s$

and the number of other tickets that were sold $=t$

Student tickets cost $3 a piece and tickets for everyone else cost $5 each.

So, the total cost of  $s$  student tickets $=\ 3s$ and the total cost of  $t$  other tickets $=\ 5t$

Given that, the drama club sold total $779 worth of tickets.

So, the equation will be:  $3s+5t=779$
