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
