Jillian’s school is selling tickets for a play. The tickets cost $10.50 for adults and $3.75 for students. The ticket sales for opening night totaled $2071.50. The equation , where a is the number of adult tickets sold and b is the number of student tickets sold, can be used to find the number of adult and student tickets. If 82 students attended, how may adult tickets were sold?
as stated in the problem, a = the number of adult tickets and b = the number of student tickets naturally, if "82 students attended" then b = 82 the total revenue made can be described w/ (price of adult ticket)(number of adult tickets) + (price of child tickets)(number of child tickets) = total revenue or, plugging in the appropriate values/variables from the problem 10.50a + 3.75b = 2071.50 you can plug b = 82 into this equation and solve for a
