Answer 1

311(1.50)+.50x=385.50

would be your equation

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the student tickets sold = x

Let the non-student tickets = y

x + y = 311

0.5x + 1.5y  =  385.5       Multiply the second equation by 2

x + 3y = 771                      Subtract2y the first equation

x +  y =  311

     2y =460

      y = 230

x then will equal 311 - 230 = 81

Check

81 * 0.5 =       40.5

230 * 1.5  =  345

Total         = 385.5 just as it should
