Answer:

  • 90 student tickets
  • 65 adult tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

For many "mixture" problems, it is convenient to use a variable for the quantity of the highest contributor. Here, we can use 'a' to represent the number of adult tickets, because adult tickets cost the most. Then the number of student tickets is (a+25), and the total revenue is ...

  6a +3(a+25) = 660

  9a +75 = 660

  9a = 585

  a = 65

  (a+25) = 90

The drama class sold 90 student tickets and 65 adult tickets.
