Answer:

Adult: 59 tickets, Student: 642 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

$5 = ticket per student (s)

$8 = ticket per adult (a)

$3682 = total money made

# of s = 11a-7 (7 less than 11 times the adults)

We can use this information to create a systems of equations.

5s + 8a = 3682

*price of a ticket times the number of students or adults equals total*

where s = 11a-7

Now we substitute in:

5(11a-7) + 8a = 3682

55a - 35 + 8a = 3682

63a - 35 = 3682

63a = 3717

a = 59

so 59 adult tickets were sold, now we can use this information to solve for student tickets.

s = 11(59)-7

s = 642

So 59 adult tickets, and 642 student tickets were sold.
