The cost of an adult ticket to a football game was 1.75. The cost of a student ticket 1.25. The number of student tickets sold was twice the number of adult tickets. The total income from the sale of tickets was 850. How many tickets of each type were sold?

Respuesta :

ANSWER: Adult tickets: 200  Student tickets:400

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

n = number of adult tickets sold

2n = number of student tickets sold

2n(1.25) + n(1.75) = $850

2.50n + 1.75n = $850

4.25n = $850

n = 200

2n= 2 × 200= 400
