Question

The school that Huong goes to is selling tickets to a choral performance. On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 10 adult tickets and 11 student tickets for a total of $160. The school took in $60 on the second day by selling 8 adult tickets and 2 student tickets.

Answer 1

Let's label the variables:

• Let \( x \) represent the price of an adult ticket.
• Let \( y \) represent the price of a student ticket.

Based on the information provided, we can set up the following equations:

1. From the first day's sales:

   • The school sold 10 adult tickets and 11 student tickets for a total of $160.
   • This can be expressed as: \[ 10x + 11y = 160 \]

2. From the second day's sales:

   • The school sold 8 adult tickets and 2 student tickets for a total of $60.
   • This can be expressed as: \[ 8x + 2y = 60 \]

So, the equations are:

1. \( 10x + 11y = 160 \)
2. \( 8x + 2y = 60 \)

(Note: Your original message had references to "Ted" and "Paul," which seem unrelated. The context here refers to the ticket sales equations.)
