Answer:
25 adult tickets and 75 student tickets were sold.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the tickets for the school play are $ 7.00 for adults and $ 5.00 for students, and that there were 100 tickets sold generating a total profit of $ 550.00, to determine how many of each were sold the following calculation must be performed:
100 x 5 = 500
550 - 500 = 50
7 - 5 = 2
50/2 = 25
100 - 25 = 75
(25 x 7) + (75 x 5) = X
175 + 375 = 550
Therefore, 25 adult tickets and 75 student tickets were sold.
