Answer: Number of students tickets were sold = 120

Number of adults tickets were sold = 200

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x= Number of adults, y = Number of students

As per given,

x+y=320    ...(i)

4x+2.5y=1100 ...(ii)

Multiply 2.5 on both the sides of (i), we get

2.5x+2.5y=800   ...(iii)

Subtract (iii) from (ii), we get

1.5x=300

[tex]x=\frac{300}{1.5}\\x=200[/tex]

From (i) y= 320-200 = 120

Hence, Number of students tickets were sold = 120

Number of adults tickets were sold = 200
