The school sold 300 tickets for a school play and collected a total of $1,150.

Question

Student tickets cost $3.00 and adult tickets cost $5.00.
How many students attended the play ?

Answer 1

Plug and Chug

3 s + 5 a = 1150
but
s+a = 300 so a = 300-s

3 s + 5 (300-s) = 1150

3 s + 1500 - 5 s = 1150

2 s = 350

s = 175
