Nadine sold two kinds of tickets to her class play. Student tickets cost $3 each, and adult tickets cost $5.50 each. If Nadine sold a total of 25 tickets for $90, how many student tickets did she sell?

19 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Nadine sold two kinds of tickets to her class play

The student tickets cost $3

Adult tickets cost $5.50

Nadine sold a total of 25 tickets for $90

We are required to find the number of students tickets that were sold

Let x represent the number of tickets sold to students

Let y represent the number of tickets sold to adults

x + y= 25

x= 25-yequation 1

Since the total cost of the ticket is $90

3x + 5.50y=90equation 2

Substitute 25-y for x in equation 2

3(25-y) + 5.50y= 90

75-3y+5.50y= 90

75+2.5y= 90

Collect the like terms

2.5y= 90-75

2.5y=15

Divide both sides by 2.5

2.5y/2.5=15/2.5

y= 6

Substitute 6 for y in equation 1

x= 25-y

x= 25-6

x= 19

Hence Nadine sold 19 student tickets
