The Odyssey Rockets Basketball team charges $5 for adult tickets and $2 for student tickets. Last night made $546 and sold 183 tickets. How many adult and student tickets did they sell

Respuesta :

Answer:

Adult tickets = $60

Children tickets = $123

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the adult tickets sold

Let y represent the children tickets sold

x + y = 183......equation 1

5x + 2y= 546........equation 2

Multiply equation 1 by 5 and equation 2 by 1

5x + 5y = 915

-

5x + 2y= 546

3y = 369

y= 369/3

y= 123

Substitute 123 for y in equation 1

x + 123= 183

x= 183-123

x= 60

Hence the price of adult tickets sold is $60 and the price of children tickets sold is $123
