If they took in a total of $1,200, which system of equations can be used to find x, the number of student tickets sold, and y; the number of adult tickets sold?

A: x+y = 1200

2x+4.5y = 700

B: x+y=700

2x+4.5y=1200

C: x+y=1200

Camilla Lin · Answer 1

The answer is

B: x+y=700

2x+4.5y=1200

x - the number of student tickets sold,

y - the number of adult tickets sold

The total number of sold tickets is 700:

x + y = 700

Adult tickets sold for $4.50 each and student tickets cost $2. oo each. If they took in a total of $1,200:

2x + 4.50y = 1200

The system of equations is:

x + y = 700

2x + 4.50y = 1200
