For a particular event, 771 tickets were sold for a total of $3037. if students paid $3 per ticket and non-students paid $5 per ticket, how many student tickets were sold?

Number of student tickets were sold = 409

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of tickets sold = 771

I.e Students ticket (S) + Non students ticket(N S)  = 771

Total amount to be paid for tickets = $ 3037

Amount paid by students per tickets = $3

Amount paid by non-students per tickets = $5

So, according to question

S + NS = 771

3 S + 5 NS = 3037

Solve both equations  

5 S + 5 NS = 771 × 5

3 S + 5 NS = 3037

so ,

(5 S + 5 NS) - (3 S + 5 NS ) = 3855 - 3037

Or, 2 S = 818

I.e S = = 409

Hence, The number of student tickets were sold = 409      Answer

the solution is h=10 because you add 9 to each side of the equation.

since proposition states that a number is greater than 25, if is true then the number must actually be greater than 25.

this implies that all possible options, except 24, can be accepted
