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:

168 adult tickets were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the amount of students by the cost of the student ticket (82 times 3.75) which equals 307.5 . Subtract that from the total amount earned (2071.5) and you get 1764. Divide that by the cost of an adult ticket (10.50), and you'll get the amount of adults who attended, which is 168.
