Tickets to a spring concert are $5.00 for students and $8.00 for adults. 250 tickets to the concert were sold for a total of $1550. How many tickets adult tickets and how many student tickets were sold?

100 adult tickets

150 students tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

First, construct an equation that relates the tickets.  

For the first equation, 5x represents $5 per ticket for students and 8y represents $8 per ticket for adult, showing the money earned.  

For the second equation, x represents student tickets and y represents adult tickets, showing the tickets sold.

Then, you have to cancel out similar factors.  I will multiply the second equation by -5 because that is the easiest option for this specific case.

We have solved for y, which is how many adult tickets were sold.  To solve for student tickets, we will solve the second equation.

As a result we have 100 adult tickets and 150 student tickets.
