Question

You are selling tickets for a high school basketball game. student tickets cost $3 and general admission cost $5. you sell 350 tickets and collect $1450. how many of each type of ticket did you sell

Answer 1

a+b=350 => a=350 - b

3a + 5b = 1450
3(350-b)+b=1450
1050-3b+5b=1450
2b=400
b=200
a=150
