Answer: number of tickets sold to adult = 566
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = number of tickets sold by DCHS to students.
Let y = number of tickets sold DCHS to adults.
Tickets to Dundee crowns mr.dchs are $3 for students and $5 for adults.
This means cost of total tickets sold to students and adults is $3x and $5y respectively.
If DCHS collected $3943 for the tickets, then we have
3x + 5y = 3943 - - - - - -1
The number of adult tickets sold was 195 more than the number of student tickets. This means
y = x +195.
Put y = x +195 in equation 1
3x + 5(x+195) = 3943
3x + 5x + 975= 3943
8x +975=3943
8x = 3943-975= 2968
x = 2968/8 = 371
y = 371 + 195= 566
