Question

Read the following word problem. Give the system of equations AND the
solution: Ms. Rubio needs to how many students and adults went to an Edison
football game. She knows there were a total of 376 people there (all either
adults or students) and she made $2,064 in admission tickets. If student
tickets cost $2 and adult tickets are $10. How many students were at the
game? How many adults? (you will use these answers for the next slide)

Answer 1

Answer:

A) S + A = 376

B) 2 S + 10 A = $2,064

Multiplying A) by -2:

A) -2S -2A = -752 then adding in B)

B) 2 S + 10 A = $2,064

8 A = 1,312

A = 164 Adult tickets

Student Tickets = 376 -164

= 212 Student Tickets

*********************************

Double Check

164 + 212 = 376 total tickets

$2 * S + $10 * A = $ 2,064

$424 + 1,640 = $ 2,064
