Problema Solution

A movie theater sold 762 tickets. An adult ticket costs $7.00 and a childs ticket costs $4.50. $4959.00 worth of tickets were sold. How many adult tickets were sold and how many child tickets were sold?

Answer provided by our tutors

let x be no of adult ticket sold . 

and y be the no of child ticket sold

so, x+y = 762 

Total cost of adult tickets = 7 * x 

Total cost of child tickets = 4.5 * x 

 

and 7x+4.5y = 4959 ,

so , solving these two equations, 

x= 612 , y = 150
