Tickets for the school play were priced at N520.00 each for adults and N250.00 each...

Explanation

Let number of children's ticket at N250.00 each = \(x\)

∴ Number of adult tickets at ?520.00 each = 5\(x\)

Then,

Total amount of money received from children's tickets = 250\(x\)

Total amount of money received from adult tickets = 520(5\(x\))

⇒ 250\(x\) + 520(5\(x\)) = 171,000

⇒ 250\(x\) + 2600\(x\) = 171,000

⇒ 2850\(x\) = 171,000

⇒ \(x = \frac{171,000}{2850} = 60\)

∴ 60 tickets were sold at N250.00 and 300 tickets were sold at N520.00
