The drama club sold 320 adult tickets and 153 student tickets for their last performance. adult tickets cost 75₵ more than student tickets. if the total receipts were $949.50, what was the price of each ticket?

Let s represent the price of a student ticket. Then the revenue equation is

... 153s + 320(s +0.75) = 949.50

... 473s + 240 = 949.50 . . . . . . simplify

... 473s = 709.50 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 240

... s = 1.50 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 473

Student tickets were $1.50; adult tickets were $2.25.

step-by-step explanation:

the multiplicative inverse of a fraction a/b is b/a. for the multiplicative inverse of a real number, divide 1 by the number. for example, the reciprocal of 5 is one fifth 1/5 or 0.2, and the reciprocal of 0.25 is 1 divided by 0.25, or 4.
