    x + y = 220

    25 x + 15 y = 4650

    The above system can be used to find the number of adult and student tickets sold.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let us assume the number of Adult's ticket sold = x

    And The number of student's tickets sold = y

    Now, total number of tickets sold = 220

    ⇒ x + y = 220

    Cost of 1 adult Ticket = $ 25

    ⇒ Cost of x adult tickets = x ($25) = 25 x

    Cost of 1 student Ticket = $ 15

    ⇒ Cost of y student tickets = y ($15) = 15 x

    Also, the total amount made from selling all tickets = $4650

    ⇒ 25 x + 15 y = $4650

    Here, the given system of equations are:

    x + y = 220

    and 25 x + 15 y = 4650

    The above system can be used to find the number of adult and student tickets sold.
