Answer:
The equation will be: [tex]3s+5t=779[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of student tickets that were sold [tex]=s[/tex]
and the number of other tickets that were sold [tex]=t[/tex]
Student tickets cost $3 a piece and tickets for everyone else cost $5 each.
So, the total cost of [tex]s[/tex] student tickets [tex]=\$3s[/tex] and the total cost of [tex]t[/tex] other tickets [tex]=\$5t[/tex]
Given that, the drama club sold total $779 worth of tickets.
So, the equation will be: [tex]3s+5t=779[/tex]
