65 adult tickets were sold whereas 40 student tickets were sold as well
What approach is appropriate to solve the word problem?
The most suitable approach to determine the number of each type of tickets sold is by simultaneous equation such the word problems are modelled into equations which are solved together to ascertain the number of adult and student tickets sold altogether
let x be adult tickets sold
let y be student tickets sold
x+y=105........ equation 1
4x+3y=380........ equation 2
from equation 1, x=105-y
substitute for x in equation 2
4(105-y)+3y=380
420-4y+3y=380
420-y=380
420-380=y
40=y
y=40
x=105-40
x=65
