The sophomore class sold a total of 700 adult and student tickets to the school play. Adult tickets sold for $4.50 each, and student tickets cost $2.00 each. If they took in a total of $1,200, which system of equations can be used to find x, the number of student tickets sold, and y, the number of adult tickets sold?(1 point) Responses {2x+4.5y=12002x−4.5y=700

1 answer

The correct system of equations would be:

x + y = 700 (since the total number of tickets sold is 700)
2x + 4.5y = 1200 (since the total ticket sales add up to $1200)
