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?%0D%0A(1 point)%0D%0AResponses%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0AImage with alt text: equation%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0AImage with alt text: equation%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0AImage with alt text: equation

Let x represent the number of student tickets sold and y represent the number of adult tickets sold.

Based on the given information, the system of equations would be:

x + y = 700 (equation 1) - representing the total number of tickets sold
2x + 4.50y = 1200 (equation 2) - representing the total revenue generated

Therefore, the system of equations to find x and y would be:

x + y = 700
2x + 4.50y = 1200
