Let s = student tickets, a = adult tickets.
s + a = 100
5s + 9a = 652
Substitute s = 100 − a:
5(100 − a) + 9a = 652 → 500 + 4a = 652 → a = 38, so s = 62.
Students minus adults = 62 − 38 = 24.
Answer: B.
s + a = 100
5s + 9a = 652
Substitute s = 100 − a:
5(100 − a) + 9a = 652 → 500 + 4a = 652 → a = 38, so s = 62.
Students minus adults = 62 − 38 = 24.
Answer: B.
