At at basketball game,adult tickets were sold at $1.00 each and student tickets at 75c each. If 150 tickets were sold and $140 was collected,how many tickets of each kind were sold?

Answer 1

100 a + 75 s = 14000 pennies
a+s = 150 so a = 150-s

100(150 - s) + 75 s = 14000

15000 - 25 s = 14000

1000 = 25 s

s = 40
then a = 150 - 40 = 110
