Problema Solution
ticket prices at an amusement park are 27.00 per adult and 19.00 per ticket for visitors under 16. In one day there were exactly twice as many adult tickets sold as there were tickets sold for visitors under 16. The total amount of ticket sales that day was 4,015.00 . how many adult tickets were sold that day?
Answer provided by our tutors
Let 'a' stand for the number of adult tickets and 'v' stand for visitors under 16. From the given information, we can write two equations:
a(27)+v(19)=4015 This equation accounts for the profit made that day.
a=2v This equation reflects that there were twice as many adult tickets sold.
Solving for 'a' and 'v', we get:
a=110
v=55
These were the number of tickets sold.
