A concert manager counted 525 ticket receipts the day after a concert. The price for a student ticket was $10.50, and the price for an adult ticket was $18.00. The register confirms that $8,325.00 was taken in. How many student tickets and adult tickets were sold?

Respuesta :

Answer:

150 student tickets and 375 adult tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = # of student tickets sold, and y = # of adult tickets sold.

Total of 525 tickets were sold, so the first equation is x + y = 525. The register gained $8325, so 10.50x + 18y = 8235 is the second equation.

x + y = 525

10.50x + 18y = 8325

18x + 18y = 9450

10.50x + 18y = 8325

7.5x = 1125

x = 150

150 + y = 525

y = 375
