Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Let's say x is the number of student tickets sold.
Then the number of nonstudent tickets sold is (1350-x).
Total revenue earned = (6*x) + (8*(1350-x)) = 8734
Simplifying the above equation, we get:
-2x + 10800 = 8734
-2x = -2066
x = 1033
Therefore, the number of student tickets sold is 1033.
