Problema Solution
University theatre sold 556 tickets for a play. Tickets cost $22.00 per adults and $12.00 per senior citizens. If total receipts were $8492, how many senior citizen tickets were sold?
Answer provided by our tutors
suppose senior citizen ticket = x
and adult ticket = y
x + y = 556
12x + 22y = 8492
Solving we get
x = 374, y = 182
Senior citizen tickets = 374
adult tickets = 182
