The school production of 'our town' was a big success. for opening night, 501 tickets were sold. students paid $3.00 each, while non-students paid $5.00 each. if a total of $ 1767.00 was collected, how many students and how many non-students attended?

no of students are 369

and no of non students are 132

Explanation:

given data

ticket sold  = 501

student paid = $3

non students paid = $5

total collection = $ 1767

to find out

how many students and how many non-students attended

solution

we consider here no of students  = x

and no of  non students = y

so we can say that

x + y = 501   1

y = 501 - x     2

and paid by students then equation will be

3x + 5y = 1767   3

put value 2 equation in equation 3

3x + 5(501 - x) = 1767

3x + 2505 - 5x = 1767

-2x + 2505 = 1767

x = 369

so y will be y = 501 - 369

y = 132

so no of students is 369

and no of non students is 132

so they can see what that city is producing and to also see if they can some how get that product. like gold in africa.

odd consecutive integers are odd integers that follow each other. they have a difference of 2 between every two numbers. if n is an odd integer, then n, n+2, n+4 and n+6 will be odd consecutive integers. the first number in the pattern is always the variable on its own or in this case, "n". examples.
