Answer:
350 adult tickets were sold.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's set up some values:
x = adult tickets
x + 50 = student tickets, since there were 50 more student tickets than adult tickets.
Now, let's set up our equation. If these two values add up to 750 tickets, then we can conclude the following:
(x) + (x + 50) = 750
2x + 50 = 750
2x = 700
x = 350 adult tickets. This means there were 400 student tickets sold.

Answer: 4 dollars and 17 cents</h3><h3>This is the same as saying $4.17</h3>
====================================================
Explanation:
15+35.50 = 50.50 dollars is the total before tax is applied.
Take 8.25% of this to get
0.0825*50.50 = 4.16625
and this rounds to 4.17, which is the amount of sales tax charged.
$4.17 = 4 dollars + 17 cents
---------
Extra info:
The grand total will be 50.50+4.17 = 54.67
Another way to get the grand total is to multiply 1.0825 by the previous subtotal (50.50) getting 50.50*1.0825 = 54.66625 and that rounds to 54.67
The multiplier 1.0825 effectively means "increase by 8.25%"
