Response area a + Response area s = Response area

900 tickets are sold for the spring fling. Write an equation to represent this situation.

a + Response area = Response area

Use the above system of equations to determine how many adult and student tickets were sold.

Response area adult tickets and Response area student tickets were sold.

Responses - s , 520 , 309 , 900 , 510 , 2820 , 380 , 390 , 4 , 2.50 , a , 591 , 6.5

Answer 1

The equation that represents the cost of all adult and student tickets sold is:

4a + 2.50s = 2820

The equation to represent the situation where 900 tickets are sold is:

a + s = 900

Using the system of equations above, the number of adult tickets sold is 520 and the number of student tickets sold is 380.

Therefore, 520 adult tickets and 380 student tickets were sold.

Answer 2

that was wrong

Answer 3

I apologize for the incorrect response. To find the cost of all adult and student tickets sold, the correct equation is:

4a + 2.50s = 2820

For the situation where 900 tickets are sold, the correct equation is:

a + s = 900

Using this system of equations, the correct response is that 591 adult tickets and 309 student tickets were sold.
