Question

The manager at a concert venue keeps track of the number of adult tickets and student tickets sold each day and the total money received. On Wednesday, a total of 74 tickets were sold, and the money collected was $994. Suppose adult tickets are sold for $15 and student tickets are sold for $11. Collaborate with your peers to answer the following: 1. Draw a graph or figure to represent this situation. 2. Describe how the concepts from this module can be applied in this case. 3. How many adult tickets and student tickets were sold? 4. Provide another example of a scenario that involves the same concept.

A concert manager counted 350 ticket receipts the day after a concert. The price for the student ticket was $12.50, and the price for the adult ticket was $16. The register confirms that $5,075 was taken in. Using this information, we can construct a system of equations to determine the number of student and adult tickets that were sold for the concert. Let s = the number of student tickets sold and a = the number of adult tickets sold. We know that the total number of tickets sold was 350. Therefore, s+a = 350. 12.50s = the amount of money taken in from student tickets 16a = the amount of money taken in from adult tickets 12.50 + 16a = the total amount of money taken in We can write our system of equations as: (1) s+a = 350 (2) 12.50s+16a = 5075 Using the system of equations above and the graphing method for solving systems of equations, determine the number of student and adult tickets sold. Include an image of your graph here. Explain how you found the solution using the graph.

00:01 The counselor manager counted 350 tickets.
00:03 We had a student ticket and adult ticket.
00:06 So we have the price of a student ticket was $12 .50 and the price for adult ticket was $16 .00 and the register confirmed that we had $5 ,075 taken in.
00:20 We have this system of equations where we can then solve and find the amount of each of the tickets sold.
00:28 So we can solve this graphically.
00:31 That's difficult to do, i'll be honest with you.
00:34 So what i'm going to do is go ahead and multiply this first one by negative 16...
