    Step-by-step explanation:

    Ticket sale (student) = $8

    Ticket sale (adult) = $13

    The hall can contain 70 people.

    Number of adult tickets sold = 41

    Cost of show = $730

    Let the number of student ticket sold = x

    Setting an algebraic equation to show represent the cost of the show and set minimum target of ticket to be sold.

    730 = (41 * 13) + (x * 8)

    730 = 533 + 8x

    8x = 730 - 533

    8x = 197

    X = 197 / 8

    x = 24.6 = 25

    The minimum number of student tickets to be sold is 25
