A total of 259 tickets were sold to a benefit concert for a total of $5,312. Two types of tickets were sold: adult tickets were sold for $24 each and student tickets were sold for $16 each. How many student tickets were sold?

113

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of adult tickets sold =a

Let the number of student tickets sold =s

A total of 259 tickets were sold, therefore:

a+s=259

Adult tickets were sold for $24 each and student tickets were sold for $16 each.

Total Revenue = $5,312

Therefore:

24a+16s=5,312

We solve the two derived equations simultaneously.

From the first equation

a=259-s

Substitute a=259-s into 24a+16s=5,312

24(259-s)+16s=5,312

6216-24s+16s=5,312

-8s=5,312-6216

-8s=-904

Divide both sides by -8

s=113

Therefore, 113 student tickets were sold.

step-by-step explanation:

negitive slope

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl
