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 10.50a + 3.75b = 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?

Respuesta :

10.50a+3.75b=2071.50
10.50a=2071.50-3.75*82
10.50a=1764
a=168
There are 168 adult tickets were sold
