Question

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST. Tickets to a show cost $3 for students and $7 for adults. If 250 tickets were sold and ticket sales totaled $1102, how many adult tickets were sold?

Answer 1

Answer:

88 adult tickets were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

3s + 7a = 1102

(s + a = 250)-3

   3s + 7a = 1102

+ -3s - 3a = -750      Add these equations together

4a = 352                  Divide both sides by 4

a = 88

Now plug this into the second equation

s + a = 250

s + 88 = 250

  - 88     - 88        Subtract 88 from both sides

s = 162

If this answer is correct, please make me Brainliest!

Answer 2

You're supposed to make two equations then subtract them but it comes out as a decimal

The second equation is made by the student ticket cost/3$ times the amount of tickets sold/250.

x+y=250--> 3x+3y=750

7x+3y=1102

-3x-3y=750

5x      =352

then 352/5=70.4

Idk if i did something wrong but this is what i got.
