    To answer this, you will write and equation in terms of the number of adult tickets sold and then solve for a, the number of adult tickets.

    $5a + $3.50s = $2517.50

    $5a + $3.50 (a + 100) = $2517.50

    5a + 3.50a + 350 = 2517.50

    8.50a - 350 - 350

    8.5a = 2167.50

    8.5 8.5

    a = 255

    The number of adult tickets sold was 255, and the number of student tickets sold was 355 (255 + 100).
