Answer: 105 couple tickets and 40 individual tickets
For this I will use the "Graphing Method"
First, we need to set up two equations.
-> Let x be the number of couple tickets.
-> Let y be the number of individual tickets.
-> It is "2x" because a couple means two.
$12x + $8y = $1,580
2x + y = 250
Next, we will graph this.
-> The point at which the two lines intersect is our solution.
-> See attached.
-> x = 105, so 105 couple tickets
-> y = 40, so 40 individual tickets
Have a nice day!
I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly.
