Jillian’s school is selling tickets for a play. The tickets cost $10.50 for adults and $3.75 for students. The ticket sales for opening night totaled $2071.50. The equation 10.50a + 3.75b = 2071.50, where a is the number of adult tickets sold and b is the number of student tickets sold, can be used to find the number of adult and student tickets. If 82 students attended, how may adult tickets were sold?

3.75 x 82 = 307.5    2071.5 - 307.5 = 1764    1764 / 10.5 = 168 I think this should be correct. 168 adult tickets were sold
