case high school sold 120 tickets to the school play and took in $195 from ticket sales. if student tickets were $1 and adult tickets were $2, how many of each kind did they sell?

Respuesta :

Answer: student = 45 ticket sold, adult = 75 ticket sold.

Explanation:

Assume that all the ticket sold were adult ticket:

120 x 2$ = 240$

Then:

240$ - 195$ = 45$

Calculate the difference between student ticket and adult ticket:

2$ - 1$ = 1$

Find the student ticket:

45$/1$ = 45

45 ticket sold is the student ticket.

Find adult ticket sold:

120 - 45 = 75

75 ticket sold is the adult ticket.

Check:

(45 x 1) + (75 x 2) = 195
45 + 150 = 195
195 = 195
