Answer:

119 student tickets and 95 non-student tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

I did a trial-and-error solution.

I started with 107 students and 107 non-students:

(107*$7)+(107*$12) = $2033

It was too high, which tells us that there should be more who paid for the cheaper price.

I ended up with 119 and 95:

(119*$7)+(95*$12) = $1973

Answer:

Sample Response: Partial and negative tickets cannot be sold, so the minimum number values of e and s are 0. If s = 0, then e = 16, and if e = 0, then s = 20. Therefore, the values of s are whole numbers from 0 to 20 and the values of e are whole numbers between 0 and 16. The greatest number of student tickets sold was 20 and the greatest number of nonstudent tickets sold was 16.
