Tickets are being sold for a theater. Cost for students: 2 dollars. Cost for other people: 5 dollars. The total amount of tickets sold: 250. Total amount of money made: 950. How many of the tickets were sold to the students? To the others?

Answer 1

2 s + 5 a = 950
s+a = 250 so a = 250 - s

2 s + 5 (250-s) = 950
