    Answer:

    See below, please!

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We can set up a system of equations to model this problem. Let’s consider the student’s ticket as x, and y for the adult ticket.

    So since the student ticket is $1.50, and adult is $4, we can set up the following equation: 1.5x+4y=5050, since they collected $5050 total.

    We can set up another equation modeling the number of people who came to the game. This would be x+y=2200.

    Solve this, and we get x= 1500 and y=700. So, they sold 1500 student tickets and 700 adult tickets.

    Hope this helped!
