Students and adults purchased tickets for a recent school play. All tickets were sold at the ticket booth (discounts of any type) were not allowed.
Student tickets cost $8 each, and adult tickets cost $10 each. A total of $1,760
was collected. 200 tickets were sold.
a.
Write a system of equations that can model the number of student and adult
tickets sold at the ticket booth for the play.
b. Solve the system you create to find the exact number of student tickets sold
and adult tickets sold.
C.
Assuming that the number of students and adults attending would not
change, how much more money could have been collected at the play if the
student price was kept at $8 per ticket and adults were charged $15 per ticket
instead of $10?
