Problema Solution
Anna is a teacher at an elementary school. She purchased 72 tickets to take the first grade children and some parents on a field trip. She purchased children tickets for $10 each and adult tickets for $18 she spent a total of $856. How many of each ticket did she purchase?
Answer provided by our tutors
x+y = 72
10x+18y = 856
hence, 8y = 136, y = 7
then, x = 65 tickets
so 65 children and 7 adults
