The drama club sold 320 adult tickets and 153 student tickets for their last performance. adult tickets cost 75₵ more than student tickets. if the total receipts were $949.50, what was the price of each ticket?

Let s represent the price of a student ticket. Then the revenue equation is

... 153s + 320(s +0.75) = 949.50

... 473s + 240 = 949.50 . . . . . . simplify

... 473s = 709.50 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 240

... s = 1.50 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 473

Student tickets were $1.50; adult tickets were $2.25.

hey! so 1 (25) out of 4 (100) is 25 so your answer is 25%. it's like quarters!
