The system of equations will be:
[tex]x + y = 120 ; 12x+20y=1720[/tex]
Given:
In ticket to a football game for students is $12 and for adults is $20.
$1720 was collected for the 120 tickets sold at the last game.
To find:
The system of equations can be used to solve for the number of each kind of ticket sold.
Solution
Let the number of tickets sold to students be x
Let the number of tickets sold to adults be y
Total tickets sold = 120
[tex]x + y = 120...[1][/tex]
Cost of a ticket for a student = $12
Cost of a ticket for an adult = $20
Total amount collected from students = 12x
Total amount collected from adults = 20y
The total amount collected from the tickets = $1720
[tex]\$12x+\$20y=\$1720[/tex]
[tex]12x+20y=1720...[2][/tex]
The system of equations will be:
[tex]x + y = 120 ; 12x+20y=1720[/tex]
