Students sold 275 tickets for a fundraiser at school. Some tickets are for children and cost $3, which the rest are adult tickets that cost $5. If the total value of all tickets sold was 1,025, how many of each type of ticket was sold
Make a system of equation (C + A = 275)5 3C + 5A = 1,025 5C + 5A = 1,375 Subtract (elimination method) -2C = -350, divide by -2 C = 175 children tickets 275 - 175 = 100 adult tickets Solution: 175 children tickets and 100 adult tickets
