Seventy people attended a concert. A general admission ticket is $4.75 and a student is $3.25 . If the box office collected $272.50 ,how many general admissions and how many student tickets were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let g = amount of general admission tickets

Let s = amount of student tickets

Since seventy people attended the concert, this includes the people who bought general admission tickets and the people who bought the student tickets. As a result, g + s = 70. A student ticket is $3.25, so it would be 3.25s and a general admission ticket is $4.75, so it would be 4.75g. Since there was $272.50 collected in all, the second equation would be 3.25s + 4.75g = 272. 50.

g + s = 70

4.75g + 3.25s = 272.50

Multiply the first equation by 3.25 (or 4.75) so that you can use elimination to get rid of one variable.

3.25g + 3.25s = 227.50

4.75g + 3.25s = 272.50

Now, you subtract so that you can eliminate s.

-1.50g = -45

g = 30

This means that there are 30 general admission tickets. Now, you substitute 30 in for g to find s.

30 + s = 75

Subtract 30 from both sides.

s = 45

This means that there are 30 general admission tickets and 45 student tickets.
