$202.25, how many student and parent tickets were sold?
There were student tickets sold and parent tickets sold.

Answer 1

Answer:

Parents = 36

Sudents = 31

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 67............ (1)

x = 67 - y

2.75x + 3.25y = 202.25

2.75 (67-y) + 3.25y = 202.25

184.25 - 2 75y + 3.25y = 202.25

0.5y = 18

y = 36

From (1)

x + 36 = 67

x = 67-36 = 31
