Parents sold 275 tickets for a fundraiser at the community center. student tickets cost $3, and adult tickets cost $5. the total value of tickets sold is $1,025. which system of equations represents the problem?
1. 3x + y = 275
x + 5y = 1025

2. y = 275

3x + y = 1025
x + y = 275

3. 3x + 5y = 1025
y = x + 275

x + y = 1025

hence, the system of equations is:

                x+y=275

and         3x+5y=1025

let 'x' denote the number of student ticket sold.

and y denote the number of adult tickets sold.

now, it is given that:

parents sold 275 tickets for a fundraiser at the community center.

i.e. x+y=275.

also,

student tickets cost $3, and adult tickets cost $5.

the total value of tickets sold is $1,025.

hence, we have second equation as:

3x+5y=1025.

hence, the system of equations is:

                x+y=275

and         3x+5y=1025

x = -2

y = 848
