Students sold 400 tickets to the spring band concert. The students sold adult and child (under 12 years old) tickets. Each adult ticket was $5.00 and each child ticket was $2.00. The total amount of money earned from the sale of tickets was $1475

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: You will have a system of equations.
Let's say that the number of adult tickets sold is x. The number of child ticket sold is y.
We know that they sold 400 tickets, so: x + y = 400
We also know that they earned $1475
An adult ticket is $5 and a child ticket is $2, so: x * 5 + y * 2 = 1475
Because x + y = 400, we know that y = 400 - x. We use this in the main equation instead of the variable y:
x * 5 + (400-x) * 2 = 1475
5x + 800 - 2x = 1475
3x + 800 = 1475
3x = 675
x = 225

Because x + y = 400, we can calculate that y = 175

They sold 225 adult tickets and 175 child tickets.

Multiply the number on the outside in. 8(x+7) the 8 goes to the x to make 8x and the 8 also goes to the 7 to make 56. So the answer would be 8x+56

6. Would be 8x+1 i hope that helped
