Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Let the number of student tickets sold by Ron be x and the number of adult tickets sold by Kathy be y. We have two equations based on the given information: x + y = 29 (total tickets) and 4x + 6.5y = 141 (total revenue). Solving these equations simultaneously, we find that x = 19, meaning Ron sold 19 student tickets.
