235 student tickets and 123 non-student tickets were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total number of tickets sold = 358

Total revenue generated = $752.25

Cost of student ticket = $1.50

Cost of non-student ticket = $3.25

Let,

x represent the number of student tickets sold.

y represent the number of non-student tickets sold.

According to given statement;

x+y=358    Eqn 1

1.50x+3.25y=752.25    Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 1.50

1.50(x+y=358)\\1.50x+1.50y=537\ \ \ Eqn 3\\

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

(1.50x+3.25y)-(1.50x+1.50y)=752.25-537\\1.50x+3.25y-1.50x-1.50y=215.25\\1.75y=215.25

Dividing both sides by 1.75

\frac{1.75y}{1.75}=\frac{215.25}{1.75}\\y=123

Putting y=123 in Eqn 1

x+123=358\\x=358-123\\x=235

235 student tickets and 123 non-student tickets were sold.

1/5 times 26 estimated
disa [49]
Multiply 1/5 and 26/1 across the top and bottom, and you get 26/5

From there, you can estimate that its a little more than 5 because you know that 25/5 is 5 and 26/5 should be a tiny bit greater.

Hope this helped!
