Step-by-step explanation:2200 divided by 10

Answer 2

Answer: the number of student tickets is 150

the number of adult tickets is 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of student tickets sold. for the school play.

Let y represent the number of adult tickets sold for the school play.

250 tickets were sold for a school play. This means are

x + y = 250

x = 250 - y

Students tickets cost $8 and adult tickets cost $10. If $2200 was collected in ticket sales, it means that

8x + 10y = 2200 - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 250 - y into equation 1, it becomes

8(250 - y) + 10y = 2200

2000 - 8y + 10y = 2200

- 8y + 10y = 2200 - 2000

2y = 200

y = 200/2 = 100

x = 250 - y

x = 250 - 100

x = 150
