Answer:
453 adult tickets and 877 student tickets were sold.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that adult tickets to a basketball game cost $ 5 and student tickets cost $ 1, and a total of $ 3,142 was collected on the sale of 1,330 tickets, to determine how many of each type of ticket were sold the following calculations must be performed:
5 - 1 = 4
1330 x 1 = 1330
3142 - 1330 = 1812
1812/4 = 453
1330 - 453 = 877
877 x 1 + 453 x 5 = X
877 + 2265 = X
3142 = X
Therefore, 453 adult tickets and 877 student tickets were sold.
