Ron and kathy are ticket sellers at their class play, ron handling students tickets that sell for $2.00 each and kathy selling adult tickets for $4.50 each. if their total income for 364 tickets was $1175.50, how many did ron sell?

Let's create two equations and solve them using the substitution method.

Solve the first equation for s.

Plug s into the second equation.

Plug 179 for a into the first equation.

Since Ron handled student tickets, he sold 185 tickets (s = student tickets = 185).

Let's check our work.

In the first equation, s + a = 364; let's plug in what we got for a and s into the equation.

This means we will plug in 179 for a and 185 for s.

185 + 179 = 364

189 + 179 does equal 364, so this means we are correct in solving this system of equations.
