Question

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 10.50 a plus 3.75 b equals 2071.50, 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?

Answer 1

so given that adult ticket (a) cost $10,50 and student ticket (b) cost $3,75 ,the total ticket sales was $2071,50 ,given again that attended 82 students

so

10,50a +3,75b = 2071,50

how you think what mean this : given again that attended 82 students ?
