Answer:

  • 85 general admission
  • 96 student

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the number of $4 general admission and $3 student tickets sold if 181 tickets resulted in revenue of $628.

Setup

It is convenient to define g as the number of general admission tickets sold. Then (181 -g) is the number of student tickets sold, and revenue is ...

  4g +3(181-g) = 628

Solution

Simplifying gives ...

  g + 543 = 628

  g = 85 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 543

  181 -85 = 96 . . . . . . student tickets sold

There were 85 general admission and 96 student tickets sold.
