A local community sold 125 concert tickets. They collected a total of $850. Adult tickets sold for $8 each and student tickets sold for $5 each.

Hi there!

Here, we know right off of the bat the 125t=$835m, with 't' being tickets and 'm' being money. The total for each ticket sold, be it, adults and children, must equal $835 and 125 tickets sold.

We can write the equation so far as 125t=835m(8a+5c), *I think*. I've had a similar question before.

You can write a table for this to double-check. Now, we need to know how many tickets were sold to both adults and children. Our new equation will look something like this, with 'x' being the number we have yet to calculate for how many tickets sold to each:

(xa+xc)125t=835m(8a+5c)

The thing I'll leave to you is to calculate exactly how many tickets were sold, as it's hard to use a table to graph that here. (hint!)
