Determine the equations you would use to represent the situation. You sold 27 tickets total. Some of the tickets were student tickets and the rest were adult tickers.
You collected $170 selling the tickets. If the student tickets cost $5 and the adult tickets cost $10.
how many student tickets did you sell?

You sold 20 student tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Total tickets sold = 27

Total amount collected = $170

Cost of student ticket = $5

Cost of adult ticket = $10

Let,

x be the number of students tickets sold

y be the number of adult tickets sold

x+y = 27          Eqn 1

5x+10y=170     Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 10

10(x+y=27)

10x+10y=270     Eqn 3

Subtracting Eqn 2 from Eqn 3

(10x+10y)-(5x+10y)=270-170

10x+10y-5x-10y=100

5x=100

Dividing both sides by 5

Hence,

You sold 20 student tickets.

(2,20) means that the 2 is 2 hours and 20 is 20$. so there both 20$ for 2 hours only the same price. like it says. so, the dunk tank and the bounce house are the same price (20$) for the same amount of time (2 hours).

i dont understand the question? ?
