student tickets to the school musical cost $3 each. All other tickets cost $5 each. Suppose that 272 tickets were sold for a total of $1120. How many tickets of each type were sold?

Answer 1

x = student tickets
y = "other" tickets

x + y = 272
3x + 5y = 1120

Solve those equations..

3x + 3y = 816
2y = 304
y = 152
x = 120

Answer 2

111212
