tickets to a high school play or $5 for adults and $2 for students. twice as many adults as students attended. how many students attended the play if it took in $960?​

Please help me

Respuesta :

Answer:

80 students attended

Step-by-step explanation:

Adults - $5

Students- $2

2S=A because 2 times the students would give you the adult attendees.

5A + 2S = 960 because # of tickets multiplied by cost added together equals total

A = 2S so you want to sub it in the equation

Multiply: 2S + 2S(5) = 960

Add: 2s + 10S = 960

Divide both sides: 960/ 12S

S = 80

Now sub it into the 1st equation:

2(80) =A

A =160

Now go back and check:

2(80) + 5(160) =960

960 = 960 ✔

Hope this helped! Post again if you need help.
