Find the number of ticket old at regular price. Set up a ytem of 2 equation with 2 variable to olve thi problem



Answer :

The number of tickets sold at a regular price is 20.

The linear equation:

an algebraic equation of the form y=mx + b. involving only a constant and a first-order (linear) term, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Let x be the number of regular admission and y be the number of students.

The first statement is 48 tickets are sold. By this we get the first equation:

x + y = 48 ----------(1)

The second statement is the total collection for the ticket is $300. Form this we get the second equation:

8x + 5y = 300 --------(2)

Multiplying the equation by 5 we have:

5x + 5y = 240 --------(3)

Now subtracting equation (3) from (2) we get:

3x = 60

x = 20

Therefore we get that the ticket sold at regular price is 20.
