How many of each kind of ticket was sold?
Answer: 114 general admission tickets and 246 student tickets were sold.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of general admission tickets that were sold.
Let y represent the number of student tickets that were sold.
The box office sold 360 tickets to a concert at the college. It means that
x + y = 360
General admission tickets cost $15 and student tickets cost $10. The total receipts were $4170. It means that
15x + 10y = 4170- - - - - - - - -1
