Students sold 275 tickets for a fundraiser at school. Some tickets are for children and cost $3, while the rest are adult tickets that cost $5, if the total value of all tickets sold was $1,025, how many of each type of ticket was sold? please show a step by step explanation
+36916 Adult tix = a
Child tix = (275 - a)
Amount from adult tix = $ 5 a
Ammount for child tix = $ 3 (275-a) these amounts sum to $ 1025
5 a + 3 ( 275 - a) = 1025 solve for 'a' = adult tix then child tix = 275 - a
