There were 150 freshman and sophomores at the high school musical Reese and her friends attended. Freshman tickets were $2.00 each and sophomore tickets were $3.00 each. The receipts for freshman and sophomore tickets totaled $390. How many sophomores bought tickets?

100

90

60

30

Answer 1

m = number of men
w = number of women

m + w = 100
2m - 3w = 20

m = 100 - w
Put this equation into the m part of the second equation
2(100 - w) - 3w = 20
200 - 2w - 3w = 20
200 - 20 = 5w
180 = 5w

Answer 2

When you divide 180 by 5 you get your answer

Answer 3

Oh this is for the first one

Answer 4

36 wht about second one

Answer 5

yes it is

Answer 6

f + s = 150
2f + 3s = 390


f = 150 - s
2f + 3s = 390
2(150 - s) + 3s = 390
2(150 - s) + 3s = 390
300 - 2s + 3s = 390
300 + s = 390

Answer 7

Subtract 300 from 390

Answer 8

equals 90
