Problema Solution

A theatrical production company donated free tickets for their show to the local Boys & Girls Club. They claimed that the ticket value was $295 A child's ticket cost $5.25 and an adult ticket cost $8.50. If there were four times as many children's tickets as adult tickets, how many adults and children go to attend the show for free?

let x= # of adults

so 4x=# children

total cost =

8.5x+5.25(4x)=295

so x = 10

so 10 adult and 40 childeren 

total of 50
