What is an expression?

Expression in maths is defined as the collection of the numbers variables and functions by using signs like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Given that:-

  • A concert manager counted 600 ticket receipts the day after a concert. The price for a student ticket was $13.50, and the price for an adult ticket was $17.00. The register confirms that $9,587.50 was taken in

Suppose the number of the student ticket is St and adult are At.

St + At = 600

St = 600 - At

Another expression for the total amount will be given as:-

13.5St + 17At = 9587.50

Put the value of St in the equation to find the value of At.

13.5( 600 - At) + 17At = 9587.50

8100 - 13.5At +17At = 9587.5

17At - 13.5 At = 9587. 5 - 8100

3.5 At = 1487.5

At = 425

St + At = 600

St = 600 - At = 600 - 425 = 175

Therefore the number of student tickets is 175 and the number of adult tickets is 425.
