The MTC Theater holds 250 people, and last night’s performance sold out! Students under the age of 16 paid $2.50 per ticket, while everyone else paid $4.00 per ticket. Last night’s show brought in $910. Write a system to represent the given equations.

How many adult tickets were sold?

How many under the age of 16 tickets sold

Student's tickets: 60

Adult's tickets: 190

I think this is right

Step-by-step explanation:

"Let x represent the number of tickets sold to students under the age of 16. Let y represent those over the age of 16.

Equation 1, number of tickets sold:

The total number of tickets sold to students under the age of 16 plus the number of tickets sold to students over 16 must equal 250 (since the theater was sold out). The equation becomes:

x + y = 250

Equation 2, revenue from tickets sold.

The total revenue was $910. The cost of tickets under 16 is $2.50 and the cost of tickets over 16 is $4.00. The equation becomes:

2.50 * x + 4.00 * y = 910.00

The system of equations to solve is:

         x  +  y = 250

2.50 * x +  4.00 * y = 910.00 "

450 is the final answer! : )
