Question

Tickets for a concert were priced at $8 for students and $10 for nonstudents. There were 1210 tickets sold for a total of $11,700. How many student tickets were sold?

Answer 1

Let the number of student tickets sold be `x`

So number of non student tickets sold will be `1210-x`

So by the given condition

`8x+(1210-x)10=11700`

`=>10x-8x=12100-11700`
`=>x=400/2=200`
