Adult tickets to the fall play cost $6 and student tickets cost $3. the drama class sold 25 more student tickets than adult tickets to the fall play. if the class collected $660 from ticket sales, how many student tickets were sold?

s = the number of student tickets sold a = the number of adult tickets sold The drama class sold 25 more student tickets than adult tickets to the fall play s = a + 25 The class collected $660 from ticket sales: 6s + 3a = 660 divide both sides by 3 2s + a = 220 by solving the system of equations s = a + 25 2s + a = 220 we find s = 81.67 student tickets a = 56.67 adult tickets
