Problema Solution
429 people at a play, admission $8 adults $4.50 for children the total receipts were $2641. how many adults an how many children attended
Answer provided by our tutors
total=203+1017=1220 and child's tickets: 4.50(428-203)= 1017
It is 429 not 428
total=203+1017=1220 should be total=203+c=429
c is the number of children not the cost of the children's tickets
The two equations you need are
a=number of adults
c= number of children
a+c=429
8a+4.5c=2641
