Problema Solution
There are 429 people at a play. Admission was $8.00 for each adult ticket and $4.50 for each childs ticket. the total amount made from ticket sales was $2641.00. How many adults and 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
