Answer 1

Answer:

A. The number of dinner tickets sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Celeste was selling meal tickets for the holiday program at her school. The

cost of a dinner ticket is $10. She is also selling dessert tickets for $6. She lost track of how many of each ticket she sold; however, she remembered that she was given 100 tickets and she collected $900.

Let us represent

Number of dinner tickets = x

Number of dessert tickets = y

From the above question, our system of equations is given as:

x + y = 100...... Equation 1

$10 × x + $6 × y = $900

10x + 6y = 900...... Equation 2

Therefore, the variable x in this system of equations represents the number of dinner tickets sold.

Option A is the correct option.
