1,200 tickets were sold to the spring carnival. Adult tickets cost $6.00 and children's tickets cost $3.50. A total of $6,450 was collected. How many tickets of each kind were sold
Answer provided by our tutors
let
a = the number of adult tickets sold
c = the number of children tickets sold
1,200 tickets were sold to the spring carnival
a + c = 1200
A total of $6,450 was collected
6.00a + 3.50c = 6450
by solving the system of equations
a + c = 1200
6.00a + 3.50c = 6450
we find
a = 900 tickets
c = 300 tickets
