The tickets for the school play are $7.00 for adults and $5.00 for students. There were 100 tickets sold. If the total profit was $550.00, how many of each were sold?

25 adult tickets and 75 student tickets were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the tickets for the school play are $ 7.00 for adults and $ 5.00 for students, and that there were 100 tickets sold generating a total profit of $ 550.00, to determine how many of each were sold the following calculation must be performed:

100 x 5 = 500

550 - 500 = 50

7 - 5 = 2

50/2 = 25

100 - 25 = 75

(25 x 7) + (75 x 5) = X

175 + 375 = 550

Therefore, 25 adult tickets and 75 student tickets were sold.

the correct answer is option c.   3

step-by-step explanation:

points to remember

equation of the line with coordinates (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is given by,

slope m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

from the figure we can see a line with two coordinates given

to find the slope of given line

here   (x₁, y₁)   = (-1, -1 ) and (x₂, y₂) = (1, 5)

slope m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

  = (5 - -1)/(1 - -1)

  = (5 + 1)/(1 + 1)

  = 6/2 = 3

therefore the correct answer is option c.   3
