Question

Please help im doing my girl friend work and i dont know not a thing

Answer 1

Answer:

See below, please!

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up a system of equations to model this problem. Let's consider the student's ticket as x, and y for the adult ticket.

So since the student ticket is $1.50, and adult is $4, we can set up the following equation: $1.5x+4y=5050$, since they collected $5050 total.

We can set up another equation modeling the number of people who came to the game. This would be x+y=2200.

Solve this, and we get x= 1500 and y=700. So, they sold 1500 student tickets and 700 adult tickets.

Hope this helped!
