Adult tickets to a play cost $1.75 each and student tickets cost $1.25 each. Suppose there are twice as many student tickets sold as adult tickets. If the income from the play was $850, how many of each type of ticket were sold?

200 adult tickets and 400 student tickets were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of adult tickets that were sold.

Let y represent the number of student tickets that were sold.

Adult tickets to a play cost $1.75 each and student tickets cost $1.25 each. If the income from the play was $850, the expression would be

1.75x + 1.25y = 850- - - - - - - - - -1

Suppose there are twice as many student tickets sold as adult tickets. This is expressed as

y = 2x

Substituting y = 2x into equation 1, it becomes

1.75x + 1.25 × 2x = 850

1.75x + 2.5x = 850

4.25x = 850

x = 850/4.25

x = 200

y = 2x = 2 × 200

y = 400

aloha~! my name is zalgo and i am here to you out on this gracious day. in order to compare the ratios easily, it is best that we simplify the question first. so, the cougars would have 6 wins for 5 losses, bobcats make 2 wins for 1 loss. bulldogs and tigers have a ratio where you can't simplify it. so, the team with the lowest rate would be the bobcats.

i hope that this ! : d
