At the city museum, child admission is $5.30 and adult admission is $8.80. On Wednesday, 154 tickets were sold for a total sales of $1050.70. How many adult tickets were sold that day?
Answer provided by our tutors
let
c = the number of child tickets
a = the number of adult tickets
154 tickets were sold for a total sales of $1050.70
c + a = 154
5.30*c + 8.80*a = 1050.70
by solving the system of equations
c + a = 154
5.30*c + 8.80*a = 1050.70
we find
a = 67 adult tickets
