Answer:
83 adult tickets and 217 student tickets.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let number of adult tickets sold = [tex]x[/tex]
Given that total number of tickets = 300
So, number of student tickets = 300 - [tex]x[/tex]
Cost of adult ticket = $15
Cost of student ticket = $11
Total collection from adult tickets = $[tex]15x[/tex]
Total collection from student tickets = [tex](300-x)\times 11 = 3300-11x[/tex]
Given that overall collection = $3630
[tex]15x+(3300-11x) = 3630\\\Rightarrow 15x-11x=3630-3300\\\Rightarrow 4x = 330\\\Rightarrow x = 82.5[/tex]
So, for atleast $3630 collection, there should be 83 adult tickets and (300-83 = 217 student tickets.
Now , collection = $3632
