Question

At a school game, student tickets were 50 cents each and adult tickets were $1 each. If the total receipts from 900 tickets were $500, how many tickets of each kind were sold?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A(1.00) + S(0.50) = 500

A + S = 900

S = 900 - A

A(1.00) + (900 - A)(0.50) = 500

              A + 450 - 0.5A = 500

                               0.5A = 50

                                    A = 100 adults

                                     S = 900 - 100

                                     S = 800 students
