Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3s+4a=1624
S+a=461
3s+3a=1383
(3s+4a=1624)
-(3s+3a=1383)
0+a=241
A=241
241 adult tickets were sold
S+a=461
S+241=461
S=220
220 student tickets were sold
You can check by doing: (220×3)+(241×4)=1624
S=student tickets
A=adult tickets
The number of students will be 220 and the number of adults will be 241.
A linear system is one in which the parameter in the equation has a degree of one. It might have one, two, or even more variables.
Mark sold 461 tickets for the school play.
Student tickets cost $3 and adult tickets cost $4. Mark's sales totaled $1624.
Let x be the number of students and y be the number of adults. Then we have equations
x + y = 461 ...1
3x + 4y = 1624 ...2
By solving the equations 1 and 2, then we have
x = 220 and y = 241
Thus, the correct option is C.
