Adult tickets to a basketball game cost $5. Student tickets cost $1. A total of $2,479 was collected on the sale of 1,123 tickets. How many of each type of ticket were sold?
This is done using simultaneous equations If the no of adults is X and the no of students is y then, 5x +y=2479 x+y = 1123 Now you have to solve for X and y. 5x+y - (x+y) =2479-1123 4x =1356 X =1356/4 X= 339
