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.
