    Tickets for a concert were priced at $8 for students and $10 for nonstudents. There were 1340 tickets sold for a total of $12,200. How many student tickets were sold?

    Let s be the number of student tickets and n be the number of nonstudent tickets:
    1. n + s = 1340
    2. 10n + 8s = 12200
    Use our simultaneous equation calculator:
    n = 740
    s = 600
