If they took in a total of $1,200, which system of equations can be used to find x, the number of student tickets sold, and y; the number of adult tickets sold?

A: x+y = 1200
2x+4.5y =700
B: x+y=700
2x+4.5y=1200
C: x+y=1200
x+y = 700

Answer 1

total of 700 adult and student tickets
since x is student tickets and y is adult tickets...
x + y = 700

adult tickets $4.50 each and student tickets cost $2.oo each, took in a total of $1,200
^ that means 4.5y ^ that means 2x ^ their sum is equal to 1200
