Question

For a school drama performance, student tickets cost $5 each and adult tickets cost $10 each. The sellers collected $3,570 from 512 tickets sold. If c is the number of student tickets sold, which equation can be used to find the amount of tickets sold of each type?
10(512 – c) + 5c = 512
10(512 – c) + 5c = 3,570
5(512 – c) + 10c = 3,570
5(512 – c) + 10c 512

Answer 1

Answer: $10(512 – c) + 5c = 3,570$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The number of student tickets sold is represented by c.

For a school drama performance, student tickets cost $5 each and adult tickets cost $10 each.

The sellers collected $3,570 from 512 tickets sold.

Since , the total tickets sold = 512

Therefore , the number of adults ticket = $512-c$

Now, cost of total child tickets : $5c$

Cost of total adult tickets = $10(512 – c)$

Now, according to the cost of the tickets , we have the following equation :-

$10(512 – c) + 5c = 3,570$

Answer 2

I think the right equation is 10(512 - c) plus 5c equals 3,570
