Question

An adult ticket to a school play cost $5 and a student ticket cost $3. $460 dollars was collected and 120 tickets were sold. How many student tickets were sold?

Answer 1

5x + 3y = 460
5(x + y = 120)
5x + 5y = 600
Use elimination subtraction
-2y = -140
y = 70
There are 70 student tickets
