A school concert has students tickets for $7 and nonstudents tickets for $12. If the school made $1973 selling 214 tickets? How many student tickets were sold? How many nonstudent tickets were sold?

119 student tickets and 95 non-student tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

I did a trial-and-error solution.

I started with 107 students and 107 non-students:

(107*$7) + (107*$12) = $2033

It was too high, which tells us that there should be more who paid for the cheaper price.

I ended up with 119 and 95:

(119*$7) + (95*$12) = $1973
