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?

Vocaloid:

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
