Answer:
416 adult tickets were sold and 765 student tickets were sold
Step-by-step explanation:
We would first define our variables,
a=amount of adult tickets sold s=amount of student tickets sold
Now we will create our equations,
5a+1s=2845
(adult price times amount of adult tickets sold + children price times amount of children tickets sold=amount that type of ticket made)
a+s=1181
(amount of adult tickets sold+ amount of child tickets sold=total tickets sold)
We'll use the substitution method to find the answer,
a=1181-s
5(1181-s)+s=2845
5905-5s+s=2845
5905-4s=2845
-4s=-3060
4s=3060
s=765
a+765=1181
a=1181-765
a=416
