    156 senior/student tickets were sold.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Create a system of equations (I used 'x' for full price people and 'y' for senior/students)

    10.75x + 6y = 3,301

    x + y = 376

    Then solve for one variable by moving one variable to the right on the second equation:

    x + y = 376 to x = 376 - y

    Now plug that new equation into the first equation, where the 'x' is.

    10.75 (376 - y) + 6y = 3,301

    Distribute 10.75 into the parentheses:

    4,042 - 10.75y + 6y = 3,301

    Now combine like terms:

    4,042 - 4.75y = 3,301

    Move 4,042 to the right to combine with 3,301:

    4,042 - 4,042 - 4.75y = 3,301 - 4,042

    -4.75y = - 741

    Now divide both sides by - 4.75:

    -4.75y/-4.75 = - 741/-4.75

    y = 156

    156 senior/student tickets!
