Please Help with math word problem. A community drama centre sells tickets to a play. They sell 216 tickets. Adult tickets cost $10.25 and students tickets cost $8. The total number of sales was $2117.25. How many students tickets were sold, how many adult tickets were sold?

Please show me how its done

Will make brainlist, thanks

Adult Tickets: 173

Student Tickets: 43

Explanation:

2: a + s = 216; 1: 10.25a+ 8s= 2117.25

2: <<As the total number of tickets sold from both sides is equal to 216>>

1: <<Each adults ticket (a) costs $10.25 and each student ticket (s) costs $8, and the total amount of money earned (2117.25) from sales is the combination of these two))>>

a + s = 216

10.25a + 8s = 2117.25

-10.25a -10.25s = -2214

10.25a + 8s = 2117.25

-2.25s/-2.25 = -96.75/-2.25

s = 43

a + 43 = 216

- 43 -43

a = 173

option 1 is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

y varies inversely with x and constant of variation is 4

the equation will be:

y = k/x

where k =4 so,

y = 4/x

if we put values of x of option 1 in the above equation and find values of y

y = 4/-2 => y =-2

y = 4/-1 => y = -4

y = 4/1 => y = 4

y = 4/2 => y =2

so, all the values of x and y are correct.

if we put values of x given in other options and find value of y we cannot find whole table satisfying the equation.

hence option 1 is correct.

answer: 2x + 2 − 2 = 10 − 2; subtraction property of equality
