Question

358 tickets to the school basketball game on Friday were sold. Student tickets were $1.50 and adult tickets were $3.25. ASB made $725.25 on Friday night. Write two equations to represent each problem and write your let statements.

Answer 1

Answer:

x+y = 358

1.50x + 3.25y = 725.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of student tickets be x

Let the number of adult tickets be y

If 358 tickets were sold, then;

x+y = 358

If Student tickets were $1.50 and adult tickets were $3.25 with $725.25 made, the required equation is expressed as:

1.50x + 3.25y = 725.25

Hence the two equations that represent the problems are:

x+y = 358

1.50x + 3.25y = 725.25
